: How Appealing"High Court Weighs Death Row Inmate's DNA Query"
In today's edition of The Washington Post, Robert Barnes reports that "Drama is missing in DNA death row case."
David G. Savage of The Los Angeles Times reports that "Supreme Court struggles with DNA testing issue; Texas inmate Hank Skinner was once an hour away from execution when the high court intervened; Now the justices consider whether new DNA testing can be allowed of old evidence in a long-ago trial."
Joan Biskupic of USA Today reports that "Case weighs inmate civil rights; Convict's argument centers on DNA testing denied under state law."
The Washington Times reports that "Supreme Court hears case of Texas death row inmates."
Warren Richey of The Christian Science Monitor has an article headlined "Supreme Court: Can death row inmate force state to do more DNA testing? The Supreme Court agreed to take the case of a man on Texas' death row; He wants the state to do DNA tests on other, untested evidence he says would prove his innocence; A victory would make it easier for convicted criminals to continue to fight convictions."
And The Daily Northwestern reports that "The Medill Innocence Project meets the U.S. Supreme Court; Court hears oral arguments in case of Hank Skinner, which Innocence Project researched for 10 years."
