A delay in the DNA testing of physical evidence in the capital murder case of Reginald Clemons means some of the evidence won't be tested at all. Jackson County Circuit Judge Michael Manners, a special master on the Missouri Supreme Court case, in April ordered that the Missouri State Highway Patrol test a rape kit, a hair from co-defendant Marlin Gray, and blood, sperm and saliva samples. Staff of Attorney General Chris Koster in early 2010 had brought to light the evidence in the 20-year-old case.

Concurring in Kansas v. Marsh (2006), Justice Antonin Scalia responded to concerns raised in a dissenting opinion that an increasing number of exonerations undermined the legitimacy of the criminal-justice system: [The dissent] speaks as though exoneration came about through the operation of some outside force to correct the mistakes of our legal system, rather than as a consequence of the functioning of our hgal system. In 1997 the American Bar Association called for a moratorium on executions until procedures were adopted that "(1) ensure that death penalty cases are administered fairly and impartially, in accordance with due process, and (2) minimize the risk that innocent persons may be executed" (ABA, 1997).
