KENTUCKY....
The Kentucky Supreme Court has ruled that inmates are entitled to only a single DNA test of old evidence regardless of what, if any, results an initial test produces. The high court's ruling on Thursday in the case of condemned inmate Thomas Clyde Bowling marks the first time the scope of Kentucky's post-conviction DNA testing law has been defined. Bowling was sentenced to death on January 4, 1991 for the shooting deaths of Eddie and Tina Early in Lexington. The husband and wife were shot on the morning of April 9, 1990, while sitting in their car before opening their family owned dry cleaning business. Their 2-year-old son was injured, but survived the attack.
