BREAKING NEWS: "Twenty
years after two Louisville men were sent to prison for life for what
the prosecution claimed was a Satanic-inspired murder, new DNA testing
has discredited the key evidence that led to their convictions. Attorneys
at the Innocence Project in New York and the Kentucky Innocence Project
say there no longer is any credible evidence that Garr Keith Hardin and
Jeffrey Dewayne Clark killed Rhonda Warford in 1992 and dumped her body
in a field in Meade County. They were convicted based in part on
an expert's testimony that a hair found on Warford's sweatpants was a
"microscopic match" with Hardin. But DNA testing, which the
commonwealth long opposed, now shows that the hair didn't belong to
either man, according to a motion for a new trial filed by their
lawyers. The tests also show that blood found on a washcloth at
Hardin's house was his own — not that of animals the prosecution claimed
he used in alleged ritual sacrifices." The entire story can be found at:
