Supreme Court grants death row inmate's request for DNA testing.
The US Supreme Court has ruled that Texas death row inmate Rodney Reed, who was convicted of murdering a young grocery store clerk in 1996, can seek new DNA testing. The court overturned a lower court ruling that said Reed had waited too long to make the request. The case prompted an unusual split on the court, with Justice Brett Kavanaugh joined by the three liberal justices and two conservatives, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett, in the majority.
