Changes in Science in Michigan

In 2018, Michigan amended its court rule that dictates post-appeal relief. The changes allow a person file a post-conviction motion for relief based on new scientific evidence, including but not limited to: shifts in a field of scientific knowledge, changes in expert knowledge or opinion, and shifts in a scientific method used in a conviction. Effective: January 2019.

Read the court rule.
