SHERMAN, TX -- He's been on death row for 24 years, convicted of quadruple murder just outside of Sherman. Now a new development in the case of Lester Bower, Jr.
Bower's attorneys last week presented a motion requesting DNA testing of evidence found at the murder scene.
That motion was argued before 15th State District Judge Jim Fallon one week ago. But the defense had also filed an appeal of Bower's 1984 conviction.
Now the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has announced it will wait to rule on that appeal until Judge Fallon has decided whether or not to allow DNA testing.
Fallon's decision could come as soon as next week.
