DNA to Be Retested for Man Executed in '92

DNA to Be Retested for Man Executed in '92

Gov. Mark R. Warner on Thursday ordered DNA evidence retested to determine whether a man convicted of rape and murder was innocent when he was executed in 1992.

If the testing shows Roger Keith Coleman did not rape and kill his sister-in-law in 1981, it would be the first time in the United States a person has been exonerated by scientific testing after his execution...

Good and interesting on a couple levels:

finally proof that the death penalty has killed the innocent

let's not forget Warner's ambitions

why do only lame ducks take on the death penalty?
