(a) A person convicted of a felony against a person under AS 11.41 who has not been unconditionally discharged may apply to the superior court for an order for DNA testing of evidence. The application must be filed in the court that entered the judgment of conviction, and a copy shall be served on the prosecuting authority responsible for obtaining the conviction.
(b) An application filed under (a) of this section must specifically identify the evidence sought to be tested and must include facts from which the court can make the findings required under AS 12.73.020. The application must also include
(1) an affidavit by the applicant that attests to the following:
(A) the applicant did not commit the offense for which the applicant was convicted or a lesser included offense;
(B) the applicant did not solicit another person to commit, or aid or abet another person in planning or committing, that offense or a lesser included offense; and
(C) the applicant did not admit or concede guilt under oath in an official proceeding for the offense that was the basis of the conviction or a lesser included offense, except that the court, in the interest of justice, may waive this requirement; for the purposes of this subparagraph, the entry of a guilty or nolo contendere plea is not an admission or concession of guilt;
(2) an affidavit by the applicant or the applicant's attorney stating the results of each DNA test performed on the evidence in the prosecution that resulted in the applicant's conviction;
(3) an affidavit by the applicant or the applicant's attorney describing all previous efforts to obtain DNA testing and any previous application filed under AS 12.72 or this section.
