Kirstin Blaise Lobato's Unreasonable Conviction
Thomas Arthur’s case was first featured in Justice:Denied 10 years ago (Vol. 1 Issue 7, Fall 1999). Arthur has spent more than 20 years on Alabama’s death row while the State of Alabama has fought tooth and nail for more than a decade to block the forensic/DNA testing of blood, hair, sperm and other evidence recovered from the crime scene that Arthur claims will prove he is innocent of the murder he was convicted of committing.
No physical or forensic evidence links Arthur to the crime, two alibi witnesses place him an hours drive from the crime scene, and the State’s only eyewitness is the victim’s wife, who didn’t identify Arthur until she was offered immediate parole from her life sentence for murdering her husband.
Finally, in April 2009 a state judge ordered DNA testing of several crime scene items, including a wig worn by the murderer. In July 2009 the test results excluded Arthur’s DNA from being on any item.
The judge denied the request of Arthur’s pro bono lawyers for more state of the art DNA testing of the wig and other as yet untested evidence, to not just further exclude Arthur — but to identify Wicker’s murderer. The judge returned the case to the Alabama Supreme Court, and on September 3, 2009 Alabama’s Attorney General requested that the Court set a new execution date.
Arthur has had four stays of execution, twice being hours from execution.
