Hundreds of cases remain under the microscope as local entities try to determine whether DNA might have played a role in convictions. “This is a work in progress,” Travis County Assistant District Attorney John Lopez said. “We want to make sure no one was wrongly convicted. We’re all trying to get to the same end.” To date, Lopez’s office has identified about 180 Travis County cases in which DNA that passed through the Austin Police Department's DNA lab could have played a role in a conviction, he said. As of Jan. 25, the district attorney’s office had reviewed 884 of 1,833 cases, he said. Travis County’s district attorney office, juvenile public defender and nonprofit Capital Area Private Defender Service continue to re-evaluate cases called into question after the shuttering of APD's DNA lab. The lab closed in summer 2016 due to a number of issues detailed in a Texas Forensics Science Commission audit. “Justice must be served,” Travis County Judge Sarah Eckhardt said. “That’s the goal. Not just convictions.”
