D.A. Murphy Appointed to Forensic Commission

July 11, 2013 by Ballston Journal

SARATOGA COUNTY — Saratoga County District Attorney James A. Murphy III has been appointed by Governor Andrew Cuomo as a Member of the Commission on Forensic Science.

The 14-member Commission is empowered to develop minimum standards and a program of accreditation for all forensic laboratories in New York State. Accreditation of a forensic DNA laboratory is granted through the seven-member DNA Subcommittee, which also advises the Commission on any matter related to the implementation of scientific controls and quality assurance procedures for the performance of forensic DNA analysis.

In a release discussing the appointment, Murphy said “I am honored to have been appointed to the Commission to ensure that we maintain the best practices for all the forensic science labs in New York State. Only by having state of the art labs, vigilant testing and retesting, and disciplined protocols can we ensure that evidence is properly examined and useful in criminal cases.”
