I'm not sure we didn't put an innocent man to death last night. [View all]

I read in another article he asked for a DNA test to match against DNA at the scene but it wasn't granted.

I heard Ledell professed and proclaimed his innocense from beginning to end and his last meal was "the Holy Communion".

My smell test tells me Ledell is acting the way an innocent person acts in the face of injustice. Oppose it to the very end.

Edited: Yep found it, here's from an article about the DNA.

"LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) - A Pulaski County Circuit Court judge has denied a motion set forth by the ACLU, which asked for new DNA testing for Ledell Lee's case.

The ACLU cited two reasons for the motion to stay Lee's execution. The first reason was that advances in DNA testing allowed for new testing in his case. The second reason given by the ACLU was that he has an intellectual disability due to fetal alcohol syndrome and his "horrible legal counsel" did not present that in his original trial.

They argued that new testing would prove that the hair found at the scene did not belong to Lee and that blood on his shoe was not from the victim, Debra Reese. Lee was convicted for the 1993 murder of Reese.

In his ruling, Judge Herbert Wright said that improvements to DNA testing "has been available for some years prior" and questioned the delay in the filing by the ACLU."
