Ray Cromartie: Death row inmate executed without testing DNA evidence ‘that could have proved his in

A man has been executed in the US state of Georgia despite a request from his lawyers for DNA evidence which they claimed would clear him of murder. Ray Jefferson Cromartie was convicted of the April 1994 shooting of shop worker Richard Slysz at a convenience store in the city of Thomasville. Prosecutors said the 52-year-old had shot delicatessen worker Dan Wilson in the face three days before the killing, seriously injuring him. Cromartie, who had long denied that he pulled the trigger, was executed with a lethal injection of pentobarbital at Georgia’s state prison in Jackson, after the state's Supreme Court rejected two appeals by the inmate’s attorneys. They had requested state and federal courts to allow DNA testing of evidence collected from the crime scenes which they said would prove Cromartie was not the shooter.
