I honestly don't know. The only thing that comes to mind is a question... If that had happened, could his family have sued the state?
I also read that the judge ordered a new trial for this man. To me, THAT is wrong, too. The person that is said to have committed the crime, died in prison. If they KNOW who committed the crime, why go through the expense of retrying THIS man? It makes NO SENSE!
