Future Dallas County DNA exonerations in jeopardy due to Madoff scandal
Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme didn't just rip off people like Steven Spielberg and the owners of the New York Mets; he also took organizations like the JEHT Foundation to the cleaners. And since the JEHT Foundation, which is closing in January because of the scheme, provided the funding for post-conviction DNA testing in Dallas County, future exonerations may not happen.
To date, Dallas County has exonerated 19 inmates with DNA testing.
