The case against Mississippi death row inmate Kennedy Brewer is being re-investigated after DNA tests performed earlier this year showed that semen removed from the victim's body did not match Brewer's. Brewer was convicted and sentenced to death in 1995 for the rape and murder of the three-year-old daughter of his girlfriend, Gloria Jackson. The coroner received a certified letter from Jackson authorizing him to reopen the case. District Attorney Forrest Allgood said that the new DNA evidence has made a new trial likely.
