STORY: "Man to get DNA tests in 1997 E. Texas stabbing case," published by the Texas Chronicle on April 8, 2012.
GIST: "A man twice sentenced to death — but later freed — over the 1977 rape and murder of an East Texas woman will get new DNA testing that he says will demonstrate his innocence. A judge on Monday granted Kerry Max Cook's request to have more testing. Smith County District Attorney Matt Bingham says he doesn't know yet what Cook will want tested or re-tested, but that he doesn't oppose it.........Judge John Ovard of Dallas denied the request of Cook's attorneys to have a Smith County judge recuse herself and to have the case moved elsewhere."
