Almost 15 years after being sent to Florida's death row for the murder of Katrina Graddy, 17, Rudolph Holton, 48, was granted a new trial. The case against Holton has been disintegrating for months as prosecution witnesses recanted and new DNA testing cast doubt on crucial evidence. Hillsborough Circuit Judge Daniel Perry considered that prosecutors inadvertently withheld evidence favorable to Holton. Perry also ruled that hair found in Graddy's mouth - hair prosecutors tried to link to Holton - later was shown through DNA testing to belong not to Holton but most likely to Graddy.
