[D.A. Creuzot: New law, named for Dallas exoneree Richard Miles, would have minimized evidence loss]( loss of 22.5 terabytes of Dallas police evidence this year wouldn’t have caused such a panic if a new state law had already been on the books, Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot said. The law, named for a Dallas man wrongfully convicted of murder, requires police agencies to verify they turned over all evidence when filing cases with prosecutors. If police later discover more evidence, they must immediately turn it over, the new law mandates. After Dallas prosecutors discovered in July that a city IT employee deleted police evidence, Creuzot sent a notice to defense lawyers which set in motion public awareness. Prosecutors are combing through evidence, case-by-case, to make sure evidence wasn’t lost in cases preparing for trial, Creuzot said. Prosecutors and defense lawyers [would have been saved the extra work and concern if the Richard Miles Act had been in place already]( Creuzot said. ADVERTISEMENT
