The DMN had a front page story today on a motion filed by convicted murderer Michael Blair claiming a new DNA test had exonerated his client in the death of 7-year-old Ashley Estell in 1993.
A poor choice of words by his attorney (as the excerpt, above, shows).
(For what it is worth, that case had a greater impact on the revision of our criminal laws in Texas than any other case. )

Unfortunate Choice Of Words

It appears that DNA testing of the stuff found under the girl's fingernails doesn't match Blair's DNA. If so, then at least someone else was at the scene of the crime. And if this creep didn't actually do it, then the real perp is still out there. Police like to close these cases as fast as possible - regardless of nailing the right guy. (Maybe it was congressman Foley!?)
