I still think the better solution is to do all DNA testing before anyone is ever executed again.
Coleman's post-conviction appellate attorneys DID have Dr. Ed Blake test the evidence for DNA material. His conclusions in 1991 found that Coleman fit within two-tenths of one percent of the entire population that could have committed the murder.
Again, as below, you are factually correct. Though, again, i must point out that Virginia has a history of botched DNA analysis, so i believe retesting in this case, among others, is appropriate.
DNA testing was performed in 1991.
