State of N.H. Drops Opposition to DNA Testing of Evidence in Jason Carroll Case

This is the biggest development in the case in 35 years
and is a big step forward in the fight for Jason’s freedom.

In honor of International DNA Day, it is fitting to share that, in a surprising reversal, prosecutors in New Hampshire have now agreed to DNA test evidence in Jason Carroll’s case, 17 months after we filed our initial request for testing and only days before his scheduled hearing on the issue. This means the world to Jason, who has been wrongfully imprisoned for 34 years, and is a big step forward in our fight to prove his innocence and bring him home.

NHPR’s Jason Moon just launched a new episode of Bear Brook Season 2, which features Jason’s case, entitled “Episode 9: The Reversal”. The episode takes a deep dive into this new development and what lies ahead, including an interview with Jason’s lawyer and NEIP Staff Attorney, Cynthia Mousseau.
