Georgia -- About 4 years ago, before I met my husband, he was in a relationship with a 16 year old girl. After they split up, she found out she was pregnant and she gave birth to a little girl. When the baby was 6 months old, her father decided to press charges against my husband. In order to have enough evidence against him, they needed his DNA to prove he was the father to this girl's baby. The detectives came to the house while we were asleep. They banged on the door and I got up and answered it. I had law enforcement in my yard and the house was completely surrounded. A detective asked my husband for his DNA and he gave it to them. I do not know why it took so long but a month later, they charged him with statutory rape because it came back that he was "the father". I was told that they were suppose to pick up my husband and take him to a lab to have his DNA retrieved. Well, he took a plea bargain. They told him at court that he can take the offer of 15 do 4 or go to trial and get alot more. He took the four years and he is in prison right now serving his sentence.
Were they suppose to take him to a lab to get his DNA instead of the detectives getting it themselves? Was it legal for them to take it the way they did?
