"testing,if performed at the time of the crime, might have changed the outcome"?
WTF?
because they couldn't analyze the evidence when he committed the crime he should get off?

Alley confessed but argued that he was not responsible for murder because he suffered from multiple personalities. (Etc.)

I'm not sure I understand what "DNA testing" would prove? Can DNA testing today prove that the confessed killer was nuts 21 years ago?

Color me confused....
Well, whatever.... Execute the p.o.s. Just get rid of him.

Had a similar case here. A POS kidnapped, raped and killed a 9 year old girl was convicted and sentenced to death. Managed to convince a judge his trial was unfair and got a second trial getting the same death sentence. Whined for DNA testing and got it ... guess what... . it only confirmed the verdict of the previous two trials. He is STILL getting appeals and it could be years before he gets what he deserves. Worse yet is that the bleeding heart crowd is now already lamenting that he should be put to death for the usual crock of feces reasons.

I think that the DNA testing ought to be ordered. The worst thing that could happen is that they execute him, and then do the testing, and it exhonerates him. That would put a chill on executions for decades, maybe even lead to the elimination of the death penalty.

The only problem that I have with these guys who demand DNA testing is that they wait until the last minute to ask for it. But it's got to be the responsibility of the courts to make sure it gets done, preferrably early, so that it does not delay the execution.
