Wyo. Stat. Ann. § 7-12-315

Consensual testing

Known as the Post-Conviction DNA Testing Act

The act spans §§ 7-12-301 to 7-12-315 (14 sections).

Nothing in this act shall be interpreted to prohibit a convicted person and the state from consenting to and conducting post- conviction DNA testing without filing a motion under W.S. 7-12-303(c). Notwithstanding any other provision of law governing post-conviction relief, if DNA test results are obtained under testing conducted upon consent of the parties and the results are favorable to the convicted person, the convicted person may file, and the court shall adjudicate, a motion for a new trial based on the DNA test results.
