Justices side with Texas death row inmate seeking DNA testing to show he shouldn't be executed

The Supreme Court has ruled for a Texas death row inmate who's seeking DNA testing to show he should be ineligible for execution. The 6-3 decision Thursday came in the case of Ruben Gutierrez. It gives him a potential path to have evidence tested that his lawyers say would help prove he wasn’t responsible for the fatal stabbing of an 85-year-old woman during a home robbery decades ago. Two others also were charged in the case. Last year, the high court granted Gutierrez a reprieve 20 minutes before he was to receive a lethal injection.
