Steven Jackson v. State

STEVEN BLAIR JACKSON v. STATE OF MARYLAND
Court of Appeals, Battaglia, June 23, 2016,
Petition for DNA Testing – CP 8-201 allows for successive petitions without a res judicata bar.

Petition properly denied, as evidence requested would not have exculpated defendant. Defendant wanted testing of rape victim’s underwear to show lack of semen on underwear. Victim, however, stated that she was unsure whether or not defendant ejaculated. Therefore, lack of semen would not exculpate defendant.
