Midland judge orders
death penalty DNA test
Texas Al
DALLAS (AP) — Upcoming DNA tests could cast
doubt on the guilt of a man condemned to die in the 1993
strangling of a 7-year-old suburban Dallas girl, The Dallas
Morning News reported Saturday in a copyright story on
its Website.
An independent North Carolina lab conducted a DNA
test in January 1998 on a hair found in the vehicle of
Michael Blair, now 30, who was convicted of molesting and
killing Ashley Estell.
Prosecutors alleged at the trial that the hair was the vic
tim's.
LabCorp said its test proved the hair not to be the girl's.
The trial was moved to Midland because of publicity in
the Dallas area. Blair's attorneys are trying to have the con
viction overturned.
In a story for its Sunday edition. The Dallas Morning
News reported that a Midland judge has ordered DNA tests
on two other hairs found in Blair's car and said by the pros
ecution to belong to Ashley.
After its 1998 test, LabCorp said: "Although the DNA
activity in this sample fails to meet reporting standards due
to its weakness, Ashley Estell... is excluded as a possible
contributor of the genetic material in this sample."
A forensic expert in Virginia contacted by Collin Coun
ty prosecutor Tom O'Connell called the results of the test
"inconclusive at best."
Doubts surrounding Blair's case come as Texas death
row convictions are being questioned nationwide.

After Bowen's announcement,
some students were pleased with
his decision.
"For two years, I think it is
worth the wait, and the safety of
the people is more important than
just building a bonfire right
away," said Chee-seag Lee, a
chemistry graduate student.
Kimmy Skekel, a prospective stu
dent, said she's satisfied with
Bowen's decision.
"I know the families are devas
tated by the bonfire incident,"
Skekel said. "I think it's a really
good idea that he's waiting to
make it safe."
However, not all students agree
with Bowen's decision.
Sara Proffitt, a freshman jour
nalism major, said Bowen's deci
sion was influenced by outsiders'
views of the bonfire tradition.
"It's a decision more for the
public because they are looking in
on us and making their own judg
ments," Proffitt said.
Christopher Lafield, former
Moses Hall roommate of John
Comstock and a sophomore
mechanical engineering major,
said he was upset about Bowen's
decision.
"They took away what brought
A&M together," Lafield said. "I
can understand that tliey would be
apprehensive, but bonfire should
continue — just with supervision."
Lafield said Comstock told him
Bowen's decision over the phone
Thursday.
"He (Comstock) feels pretty
much the way I do," Lafield said.
"We just hope that there is some
thing that we, the students, can do
to change their minds."
