Lawyers for a Lima man facing multiple rape charges try to get DNA evidence suppressed from his trial.
Lawyers for 20-year-old Jourdyn Rawlins are asking that a search warrant for his DNA in one case be thrown out because there were errors in the warrant signed by the judge in 2020. Which include spelling mistakes, and mentions a weapon, when there was not one used in the alleged crime. The judge will review the evidence and make her ruling later. The November 2021 indictment says that the incident happened in September of 2020. Rawlins was first arrested in May of 2021 on another count of rape after a victim says that she was spending time with Rawlins in his home when he allegedly forced himself on her.
