California prosecutor opposes new DNA test in 1983 murders


California prosecutors on Monday opposed new DNA testing in an infamous 35-year-old murder case, saying previous tests showed the right man is on death row. A San Diego judge in 2011 blocked Cooper's request for a third round of DNA testing. California hasn't executed anyone since 2006.Cooper's attorney, Norman Hile, said more sensitive DNA testing would prove Cooper's innocence and that the 2004 testing showed his client was framed. More sensitive DNA testing available today would also be able to show who wore the bloody t-shirt, Hile said. He said Cooper's blood was planted on the t-shirt worn by one of the real killers.
