And I don't want to die without knowing it.
Kevin Cooper, the man now sitting on death row, may well be, and in my view probably is, innocent.
When Kevin Cooper was arrested, they took blood from him.
And that's the blood that they could have used.
To see if there's any DNA there that can be tested.
As far as planning evidence, that's absolutely impossible.
There was no evidence tampering at all.
He was 30-plus miles away from the crime scene when this murder occurred.
I think he's very cautious about trying to predict what's going to happen and trying to get too optimistic.
We have three people who have testified under oath in the form of a declaration that Lee Farrell confessed to them.
At the time, evidence wasn't handled very well.
We don't know for lots of reasons, but the DNA testing didn't tell us anything.
I'm sure for Kevin Cooper, it's incredibly disappointing.
He's been asking to test this for years and years and years.
And, you know, maybe we would have gotten different results 10 years ago or 20 years ago.
But that's not what happened.
Testing was done on the hatchet, the hatchet sheath, the fingernail scrappings from the victims, and we got no conclusive results.
So this is the orange towel found with the tan T-shirt.
We have a single male profile that is not Kevin Cooper's.
To have an entire vial disappear like that raises all sorts of questions in my mind.
