Tests reveal DNA evidence in executed Arkansas inmate's case

DNA testing from a 1993 killing in Arkansas has revealed genetic material from a male other than the inmate executed for the murder four years ago. The American Civil Liberties Union and the Innocence Project on Friday released summaries of the testing of evidence from the 1993 murder of Debra Reese. Ledell Lee, who was convicted of her murder, was one of four inmates executed by Arkansas in 2017.

  Wasn't really a thing in 1993 to begin with
  
  You're generally not allowed to re-open a case without some sort of grounds, but these groups sued for a bunch of cases including this one, legal shit takes a longass time though
  
  The guy was executed before the lawsuit was complete
  
  Better question is why execute someone who is suing for their freedom? Better yet: why execute?
