Criminal procedure: DNA evidence.

Existing law establishes limitations on the time for commencing criminal actions, with certain exceptions. Existing law provides for the tolling or extension of these time limitations, as specified. Existing law provides that regarding sex crimes and certain other crimes, as specified, a criminal complaint may be filed within one year of the date on which the identity of the suspect is conclusively established by DNA testing if the offense was committed on or after January 1, 2001, and biological evidence collected in connection with the offense is analyzed for DNA type not later than 2 years from the date of the offense. This bill would extend this limitation on the time period for analyzing biological evidence from 2 years to 5 years.
