Ferguson Makes DNA Plea

Medical Still Life

Ryan Ferguson, who was convicted of killing a local Sports Editor Kent Heitholt in 2004, is requesting that he be allowed to pay for Touch DNA on the clothing of Heitholt. Here is an article about it. It’s quite interesting because the Ferguson family feels there is resistance from the prosecutor to allow this to happen. They felt they had no choice but to run a full page add in the local paper to get their request noticed.

Last year, the other man convicted in this killing, Charles Erickson, changed his story and gave a deposition saying now that he lied in court and that Ryan Ferguson is actually innocent.
