That's pretty convincing...DNA on the murder weapon.

I can see why he was convicted. The woman is savagely murdered, and he is caught with her personal property in his trunk, and he had sold her laptop. Then two cellmates testify that he confessed.

It would be interesting to know if the cellmates are white. ??? Or why the weapon wasn't tested for DNA before.

I think the type of DNA testing they did is somewhat new. The murder was committed in 1998. StevieM Aug 2017 #14
