Michael Hill Cain v. State Indiana

We grant transfer in this criminal appeal to decide whether retaining a defendants DNA profile from a prior unrelated case and using it in a subsequent case violates the right to be secure from unreasonable searches and seizures under the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution and Article I, Section 11 of the Indiana Constitution. We also address whether retention of the DNA profile violated Indiana Code section 10-1-9-8. We affirm the trial courts denial of the defendants motion to suppress this evidence.
