Summary
We are waiting for word from the courts, after DNA that attorneys say could exonerate convicted murderer James Duckett, came back as inconclusive. Duckett has been on death row for nearly 40 years for the rape and fatal drowning of an 11-year-old girl. His attorneys are arguing for more time, so another lab can examine the results and give a conclusive finding before his scheduled execution, originally set for tomorrow, March 31st.
