Haub Law Adjunct Professor Debra Cohen speaks with Gothamist about the untold loss of DNA evidence after a warehouse fire. “It's at all related to poor conditions in those facilities. Poor supervision, poor monitoring, poor upkeep,” said civil rights attorney Debra Cohen, who added that civil cases also rely on the NYPD’s storage of evidence. Even without an event like a fire or a flood, Cohen said attorneys often raise red flags about individual cases in which DNA evidence has degraded because it wasn’t properly stored.
