A judge is mulling an Arizona death row prisoner’s request to have fingerprint and DNA tests conducted on evidence from the two 1980 killings for which he’s scheduled to be executed next month
FILE - This undated photo provided by the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry shows prisoner Murray Hooper, who is scheduled to be executed on Nov. 16, 2022, for his convictions in the killings of Pat Redmond and Helen Phelps in Phoenix. On Wednesday, Oct. 19 a lawyer for Hooper asked a judge to order fingerprint and DNA tests on evidence from the two killings in December 1980.
Lawyers for Hooper say Marilyn Redmond’s description of the assailants changed several times before she identified their client, who claimed not to be in Arizona at the time. Two other men, William Bracy and Edward McCall, were convicted in the killings but died before their death sentences could be carried out.
