The defense argued to keep the DNA out of the case over 20 years ago. Now that they have nothing to lose, they want the DNA tested. It’s a hail Mary move to delay execution. The DNA will match Duckett.
It’s a shame he wasn’t executed decades ago. The trial evidence was conclusive. Ducketts changing story to fit the evidence only confirmed his guilt. It’s a shame we allow the perp to delay execution in a case where the perp is clearly guilty.
The story said the new DNA testing was inconclusive.
Perhaps it should be done by a different lab considering the advances in technology. I feel like “inconclusive” might indicate tampering with evidence to muddy the waters.
