Scientific sleuthing
THE TRIBUNE-DEMOCRAT
When Kevin Siehl was convicted in the 1991 slaying of his estranged wife, DNA technology was not available. Now, armed with new techniques, an advocacy group has taken up Siehl’s case.
In filing a request for Cambria County court to look anew at evidence from the case, Craig Cooley, a New York attorney with the Innocence Project, said the state “premised its case on rudimentary and misleading serological (blood) evidence.”
Christine Siehl was stabbed more than 20 times and left in the bathtub of her Moxham apartment.
Kevin Siehl has maintained that he did not commit the awful crime.
We don’t know if he killed his wife or not. But we do think looking at the evidence – regardless of how much evidence remains – through the lens of today’s advanced science is the right thing to do.
It is fair to Kevin Siehl that we explore every avenue for eliminating any shadow of a doubt about his guilt.
More importantly, revisiting the case is fair to Christine Siehl.
If her ex-husband did not kill her, then a guilty person is still walking among us.
And if new technology would show that Kevin Siehl did not kill his wife, we could get busy tracking down the individual who did.
