inmate on death row in the state of Arkansas. He was born on 11/26/1969

His appeal includes: Mr. Johnson requested DNA testing of some evidence and retesting of other evidence both under Act 1780 of 2001, which is codified at Ark. Code Ann. § 16-112-201 — 207 (Supp. 2003), and under Rule 37, asserting trial counsel was ineffective for failing to request testing. The evidence at issue consists of the following: (1) a cigarette butt that was located in a green shirt that was bloodstained with the victim’s blood and was found in the woods in close proximity to the victim’s purse and a white t-shirt that also had the victim’s blood on it; (2) negroid hairs found on the white t-shirt and in the victim’s apartment on and around the victim’s body; and (3) Caucasian hairs that were found in the victim’s apartment and on the green shirt in the woods. DNA test evidence was presented at both trials on the cigarette butt and negroid hairs, and Johnson was not able to be excluded as the donor of the DNA. According to Kermit Channell of the Arkansas Crime Laboratory, the chances the DNA belonged to another African American was 1 in 250.
Since being incarcerated he has had many infractions which are too numerous to list.
