McGinn grateful for reprieve but disputes DNA tests
Condemned killer Ricky McGinn says he remains innocent despite DNA tests confirming semen and pubic hair on the victim. He criticizes Gov. George W. Bush for the 30 day reprieve and accuses him of acting for political reasons while awaiting a new execution date set for Sept 27. The Brown County judge scheduled the date after a long delay, as McGinn faces execution in two weeks amid ongoing controversy over Texas capital punishment.
