"Maine Convicted Killer Seeks New Trial After DNA Exclusion Evidence"
Maine farmer Dennis Dechaine, convicted of killing a 12-year-old girl in 1988, is seeking a new trial based on DNA testing that excludes his DNA from items at the crime scene. Dechaine's attorney argues that the DNA evidence raises questions about his guilt, while prosecutors maintain that other evidence links him to the crime. Despite previous denials for a new trial, Dechaine continues to push for exoneration, claiming that evidence was planted.
