(Article via nypost) Ledell Lee was arrested in Jacksonville within an hour of the 1993 killing of Debra Reese, who was viciously beaten and struck more than 30 times with a tire tool her husband had given her for protection.
His ex*****on on April 20, 2017 was the first in the state in almost 12 years. He was put to death by lethal injection four minutes before midnight when his death warrant was set to expire.
But the results of new tests identified another man’s DNA on handle of the bloody club, the American Civil Liberties Union and Innocence Project said in a summary released Friday. “While the results obtained twenty-nine years after the evidence was collected proved to be incomplete and partial, it is notable that there are now new DNA profiles that were not available during the trial or post-conviction proceedings in Mr. Lee’s case,” Nina Morrison, senior litigation counsel at the Innocence Project, said in a statement.
DNA was also found on a bloody shirt wrapped around the murder weapon, the activist groups said. The DNA profile was entered into the national database but no exact matches were found, the groups said.
Five fingerprints found at the scene were also run in a database but weren’t identified, the groups said.
