West Memphis Three denied the right to test DNA evidence [View all]

WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. — Damien Echols and his legal team's request of a new type of DNA testing for evidence has been denied.
The court hearing was held on Thursday morning at the Crittenden County District Court in West Memphis.
"The state of Arkansas has ruled that they will not allow DNA testing to be done that could identify the murderer of Michael Moore, Christopher Byers, and Stevie Branch." Echols said in a tweet. "This is a great disappointment to us, and traumatic as well - but we will continue to press forward."
