This weekend, the Innocence Project jointly filed a petition for DNA testing in the case of Pervis Payne, who is on death row in Tennessee. The evidence in his case has never been tested for DNA and he is facing execution on December 3, despite the fact that he lives with an intellectual disability and has maintained his innocence for more than 30 years.
