Texas Court of Appeals, 6th District (Texarkana) December 10, 2010, 06-10-00033-CR (State v. Holloway)

OPINION

Opinion by

Justice CARTER.

I. Introduction

DNA testing done seven years after the conviction of Danny Lee Holloway, II, for manslaughter showed the victim’s blood was not on the knife allegedly used as the deadly weapon. As a result, the trial court concluded Holloway probably would not have been convicted had that evidence been available at trial, and granted Holloway a new trial.
