State v. Rea

1 Mark Andrew Rea appeals the trial courts order denying his request to have DNA testing done on various pieces of evidence that were collected by the police during the investigation of a murder and sexual assault which ultimately led to Reas convictions for first-degree intentional homicide (party to a crime) and second-degree sexual assault (party to a crime). Because Rea has not shown that "[i]t is reasonably probable that [he] would not have been prosecuted [and] convicted ... if exculpatory [DNA] testing results had been available before the prosecution [and] conviction ... for the offense," we affirm. WIS. STAT.§ 974.07(7)(a)2. (2003-04).
