More 29 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:45,639 Speaker 1: crime and justice news after this Now with the latest 30 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:46,839 Speaker 1: crime and justice breaking news. 31 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 3: Crime allized John Lemley. The US Supreme Court has rejected 32 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 3: an appeal from Texas death row inmate Aurelli Escobar, despite 33 00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 3: questions over flawed DNA evidence. As Crime online Sydney's Now 34 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 3: tells us, the decision comes as the court recently overturned 35 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 3: a similar conviction in Oklahoma. 36 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,320 Speaker 2: Arelli Escobar remains on death row after the Supreme Court 37 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 2: declined to hear his appeal upholding his conviction for the 38 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 2: two thousand and nine murder of seventeen year old Bianca 39 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 2: Maldonado in Austin. Escobar was convicted largely on DNA evidence 40 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 2: from the Austin Police Department's crime lab, but years later 41 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,399 Speaker 2: an audit exposed serious issues with the lab's testing methods 42 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,239 Speaker 2: that led Judge David Wahlberg to rule that Escobar's trial 43 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 2: was unfair, writing that unreliable DNA evidence had undermined fundamental justice. 44 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: In a rare move, Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza agreed, 45 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: refusing to defend the conviction. But despite this, the Texas 46 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 2: Court of Criminal Appeals twice rejected Escobar's efforts to secure 47 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 2: a new trial. The Supreme Court recently overturned the conviction 48 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 2: of Oklahoma death row inmate Richard Glossip, citing prosecutorial misconduct 49 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 2: in the use of false testimony. Oklahoma's Attorney General even 50 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 2: backed the call for a new trial, but in Escobar's case, 51 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 2: the justices gave no reason for denying review. Escobar's execution 52 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 2: is not imminent, and his attorneys continue fighting for another 53 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 2: chance in court. 54 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 3: With the Supreme Court declining to intervene, Escobar's legal options 55 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 3: are narrowing. New Hampshire has agreed to a ten million 56 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 3: dollars settlement with Michael Gilpatrick, who says he was raped 57 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 3: and abused at a state run youth detention center in 58 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 3: the nineteen nineties. Gilpatrick's lawsuit was set for trial, but 59 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 3: was settled instead. His payout is four times the state's 60 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 3: usual compensation for victims, but far less than a thirty 61 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 3: eight million dollar jury award in a similar case last year, 62 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 3: a verdict the state is fighting to reduce. Gilpatrick, now 63 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 3: forty one, was fourteen when he was sent to the 64 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 3: Youth Development Center in Manchester. His allegations led to criminal 65 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 3: charges again against four former staffers. Two have faced trial, 66 00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 3: One was sentenced up to forty years in prison, while 67 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 3: another's case ended in a mistrial. The facility, now named 68 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 3: for former Governor John H. Senunu, is set to close, 69 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 3: with a smaller replacement planned. Since twenty nineteen, the eleven 70 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 3: former staffers have been arrested in connection with abuse claims, 71 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 3: two have been convicted, and more trials are pending.
