Ruben Gutierrez, a Texas death row inmate, asserts that new DNA evidence could establish his innocence regarding the murder of an 85-year-old woman, Escolastica Harrison, committed over two decades ago. Texas prosecutors contend that the new testing will not impact his case. The Supreme Court recently heard arguments about whether Gutierrez can compel DNA testing of crime scene evidence. Previously, the court postponed his execution just minutes before it was set to be carried out, highlighting concerns regarding the legal processes surrounding his sentence.
