and a little on sedley alley too...
...and this is from an associated press story this afternoon...
"The state Court of Criminal Appeals was asked Monday to allow DNA testing on evidence from the scene of the murder that death row inmate Sedley Alley was convicted of committing in 1985. Barry Scheck, co-founder of the nonprofit legal clinic called the Innocence Project, asked a three-judge panel of the appeals court in Jackson to overturn a Memphis judge's ruling that blocks the testing. Scheck said that state lawyers who have argued that Alley was properly convicted of murdering a 19-year-old woman in Shelby County have no way of knowing what such tests will find."
