Texas Observer Exclusive: DNA Tests Undermine Evidence in Texas Execution - The Texas Observer: "Had the DNA tests been conducted before his execution, Jones might still be alive today. Scheck says these results, had they been obtained 10 years ago, probably would have led judges to throw out Jones’ conviction and grant him a new trial.
“I’m convinced that [Bush] would have granted this reprieve had he known about it,' Scheck told the Observer on Thursday. 'I find it just astonishing that he wasn’t told. That’s a pretty serious breakdown in the criminal justice system.'"
