The first case to address the admissibility of posthumous DNA evidence after Janis was in the family law context, in Matter of Anne R. v.
However, since the mother was able to establish standing under subsection (d) Family Court Act §519 (the putative father openly and notoriously acknowledged the child as his own), the court continued to entertain the question of whether DNA tests performed on the decedent's frozen blood samples could be admitted into evidence.
The court noted that advances in DNA technology, together with its acceptability in the legal and scientific communities, provides a useful tool in post-death paternity proceedings, especially where available evidence does not satisfy the burden of proof, but cautioned that methods of obtaining such evidence should be practicable and reasonable.

 THE CONTEMPORARY AND THE POSTHUMOUS
Humanistic discourses probably function best in their cultural context when they intervene -- in the sense specified in the first question of the last memorandum - -- even critically and confrontationally, by challenging an entire set of established cultural habits, values, beliefs, and norms.
Whereas these and other institutional and disciplinary aspects of Romanticism became part of the cultural life of the nineteenth century, the critical theory or the philosophy or the humanistic discourse of Early Romanticism remained a matter of contention for a long time and was perhaps not recognized in all its radicalness until very recently.
These long spaces between the first articulation of a discourse and its later reception and realization are what is meant by the terms of the contemporary and the posthumous.

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Comedian Lenny Bruce was granted a posthumous pardon by Governor George E. Pataki yesterday for a nearly 40-year-old obscenity conviction prompted by a foul-mouthed political commentary.
The campaign to win a pardon for the groundbreaking 1960s comedian was supported by his former wife and his daughter, more than two dozen First Amendment lawyers, and entertainers including Robin Williams, the Smothers Brothers, and Penn and Teller.
Bruce mishandled his own appeal, and, beset by legal and financial problems, died of a drug overdose in 1966 with the conviction still on the books.
