April Alley, front, daughter of Sedley Alley, hugs a member of her legal counsel in a Memphis, Tennessee courtroom Monday, Oct. 14, 2019. Alley is seeking is whether DNA evidence will prove her father, who was executed in 2006, did not rape and murder Suzanne Collins, a 19-year-old Marine stationed at the Millington Naval Air Station in 1985. Barry Scheck, an attorney with the Innocence Project, argues his case Monday for the allowance of DNA evidence in the Sedley Alley trial. If the introduction of the DNA evidence is allowed and exonerates Alley, it would be the first case in the United States in which DNA evidence has been used to exonerate someone posthumously, according to the Innocence Project.
