We seem to agree that making sure DNA evidence gets tested is a good thing.
No problem with it at all. At the same time there are plenty of prisoners who don’t want their DNA tested. The ACLU will go to court to protect them from those tests.
You get down far enough it says: "At the trial 16 years ago, Skinner's lawyer did not ask that this evidence be tested, apparently fearing that DNA evidence would only incriminate his client further. But since then, Skinner and a new team of lawyers have tried to get access to the material for DNA testing."]
What that means is that THIS IS NOT NEW MATERIAL. 16 years ago the defense could ask for DNA tests ~ but they didn't lest their client get even more incriminated.
I have to laugh at that one LMAOROF and ROFLMAO ~ WOW. Guy was afraid of being further incriminated in a multiple axe murder situation.
Now that's hard to do I'll tell you!
