THE ELEVENTH HOUR  Wednesday, July 30, 2008

Lestor Leroy Bower, Jr. is hoping DNA testing will give him a new lease on life. Literally. Bower has been on death row in Sherman, TX for the last 24 years, after being convicted for a quadruple murder in 1983. During that time, Bower has had five stays of execution, one of them just five days before the scheduled date. State District Judge Jim Fallon is expected to make a ruling in early August that may give the green light for DNA testing to be performed on old evidence from the crime scene. There were no fingerprints at the scene to link Bower to the crime, and the murder weapon was never found.
