Convicted Md. Rapist Seeks Reversal From US Supreme Court

BALTIMORE (AP) -- A man convicted of raping his former classmate is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse the conviction and his 100-year-prison sentence.

In papers filed with the high court Tuesday, Glenn Raynor says Maryland State Police violated his rights by testing DNA in his sweat, which was collected from a chair he had been sitting in during a voluntary interview at a police barracks.

The Daily Record reports that the DNA linked Raynor to the rape.

Raynor argues that gathering and testing his sweat without his knowledge or a warrant violates his constitutional right against unreasonable searches. Maryland's top court ruled in August that the DNA test was merely a method of gathering identifying information.

A spokesman for Maryland State Police didn't immediately respond to a message seeking comment Thursday.
