Indiana Postpones Execution To Test DNA

HeadlineJul 29, 2003

This news from Indiana: four days before he was scheduled to be executed, Darnell Williams has been given a short new lease on life. Yesterday Indiana Gov. Frank O’Bannon postponed Friday?s execution to allow for last-minute DNA testing. Williams was convicted of killing two in 1986 but he never admitted to the murder.

Meanwhile in Philadelphia yesterday, attorneys for death row inmate Nicholas James Yarris, said new DNA testing proves he was not guilty of a 1983 rape and murder. The Associated Press reports he could become the first person on Pennsylvania’s death row to be cleared by DNA evidence.
