Rickie Johnson was exonerated, by post trial DNA testing, in 2008 after serving 25 years in prison for rape. He would like to see the Supreme Court rule in favor of post trial DNA testing in the upcoming case of William G. Osborne v. District Attorney’s Office. Osborne is appealing for a DNA test to prove his innocence under the civil acts right. Post trial DNA testing is currently not permitted in Alaska. Alaska is one of six states that does not allow post trial DNA testing in the United States.
