House v. Bell, 547 U.S. 518 (2006), was 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.
