AKRON, Ohio (AP) — The Ohio Supreme Court says it won't consider an appeal filed by a former Ohio police officer who's seeking a new trial for the 1997 slaying of his ex-wife.
The decision this past week is the latest setback for former Akron officer Douglas Prade who is serving life in prison.
That came after The Ohio Supreme Court last year upheld a court ruling overturning a judge's decision that exonerated Prade and led to his release from prison.
A judge exonerated him in 2013 after experts testified that male DNA from a bite mark found on Dr. Margo Prade's lab coat wasn't his.
