Twelve years after Jamal Wren was executed for the brutal murder of a college student in Houston, Texas a new whistleblower has come forward with a chilling claim: the blood evidence that sealed his fate was fake.
According to the anonymous source, who worked at the state forensic lab at the time, a senior lab technician intentionally switched blood samples to ensure a conviction, fearing political backlash if the high profile case went unsolved.
The pressure was insane, the whistleblower said. We were told to get results not necessarily the truth.
New testing on preserved materials from the case confirms no genetic match between the blood at the crime scene and Wren’s DNA. A posthumous appeal is underway a rare move in U.S. legal history.
Jamal Wren had always claimed his innocence, right up to his final breath.
