Muestra de ADN requerida tras condena de ciertos delitos

Explicación Simple

Si alguien es condenado por un crimen grave, debe dar una muestra de sangre, saliva o tejido antes de salir de la cárcel. Esto es para ayudar a identificar a criminales en el futuro con su ADN.

Es como si cada vez que alguien se inscribe en un club, tiene que dar su información. Así, cuando necesiten saber quién pertenece al club, pueden encontrarlo fácilmente.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan fue condenado por robo. Antes de que lo liberen, debe dar una muestra de su saliva. Aunque él ya había dado una muestra antes, necesita hacerlo de nuevo para asegurarse de que su ADN esté en la base de datos.

Texto Original del Estatuto (Inglés)

After July 1, 1990, the blood, saliva, or tissue sample shall be taken prior to release from custody. Notwithstanding the provisions of § 53.1-159 , any person convicted of an offense listed in subsection A who is in custody after July 1, 1990, shall provide a blood, saliva, or tissue sample prior to his release. Every person so convicted after July 1, 1990, who is not sentenced to a term of confinement shall provide a blood, saliva, or tissue sample as a condition of such sentence. A person required under this section to submit a sample for DNA analysis is not relieved from this requirement regardless of whether no blood, saliva, or tissue sample has been taken from the person or, if a sample has been taken, whether the sample or the results from the analysis of a sample cannot be found in the DNA data bank maintained by the Department of Forensic Science. C. Nothing in this section shall prevent the Department of Forensic Science from including the identification characteristics of an individual's DNA profile in the DNA data bank as ordered by a circuit court pursuant to a lawful plea agreement. D. A collection or placement of a sample for DNA analysis that was taken or retained in good faith does not invalidate the sample's use in the data bank pursuant to the provisions of this article. The detention, arrest, or conviction of a person based upon a data bank match or data bank information is not invalidated if it is determined that the sample was obtained, placed, or retained in the data bank in good faith, or if the conviction or juvenile adjudication that resulted in the collection of the DNA sample was subsequently vacated or otherwise altered in any future proceeding, including but not limited to post-trial or post-fact-finding motions, appeals, or collateral att
