The Kentucky Supreme court has reversed the conviction and sentence of Shane Ragland and ordered a new trial for the 1994 murder of UK football player Trent Digiuro.

Digiuro was gunned down near the UK campus in the summer of 1994. Police arrested Ragland six years after the murder. A jury convicted him in 2002.

In a 5 to 2 decision the state's highest court ordered the new trial based on evidence testing used in the original trial that has now been proven faulty.

We'll have reaction from Commonwealth's Attorney Ray Larson about the decision on 27 NEWSFIRST at noon.

I don't think they have the evidence to convict him again with the bullet lead test being thrown out. It is a shame because he is guilty.

There is no credible scientific evidence to convict him. I think that the perfect murder might have been committed here. :booo: :dontthink
