Recently in Paris, a Texas District Court judge set aside a guilty verdict for Danny Holloway who has spent the past 8 years in prison on manslaughter charges. Holloway was convicted for fatally stabbing Ashley Lee outside a nightclub but a DNA test of the murder weapon showed the blood in the knife wasn’t Lee’s. This is the first time in Lamar County history that a judge has set aside a verdict based on DNA evidence.
