I filed a habeas corpuspetition for him but I knew he had no chance because those petitionsare never granted in Virginia. He is probably still in prison 28years later. SamSloan

    3. Right. They did not have autosomal DNA or Gedmatch back in 1990. They had very primitive DNA testing back then by today's standards.. Also, the prosecutors statement about 10% DNA was ridiculous. Still the man was convicted and is in jail. You can look him up.
