Tracking the Serial Killer and Probable Cause
The Advocate reports that some Baton Rouge defense lawyers may contest the manner in which the serial killer task force has collected DNA samples from suspects. "I had the impression they were going down the usual suspect list," said Frank Holthaus, an attorney who had three clients tested. "There was no real probable cause in either case. None." "Baton Rouge police, the lead agency for the task force, say the methods they've used are legal and have been cleared with legal counsel for the department."
