House v. Bell 547 U.S. 518 (2006) is a United States Supreme Court case challenging the permissibility of new DNA forensic evidence that becomes available post-conviction in capital punishment appeals when those claims have defaulted pursuant to state law. The Court found that admitting new DNA evidence was in line with a 1995 case Schlup v. Delo which allows cases to be reopened in light of new evidence.
