:01:07. > :01:09.First tonight, the convicted killer who says a ruling to allow DNA
:01:10. > :01:12.samples to be retested would allow him to prove his innocence.
:01:13. > :01:15.Antonio Lopes is serving a life sentence for killing

:01:34. > :01:42.Antonio Lopes says the same kind of review could clear him.
:01:43. > :01:44.In a moment we'll talk to the solicitor who's representing
:01:45. > :01:49.First,though, this report from Debbie Tubby.
:01:50. > :01:55.Antonio Lopes has protested his innocence for more than a decade. He
:01:56. > :01:59.was sentenced to life for killing his partner, Dominguez Olivais, her
:02:00. > :02:08.body washed up on the banks of the River Bure. This was her memorial

:03:46. > :03:46.with science. And if the wrong person has been convicted murderer
:03:47. > :03:50.still needs to be cot. This afternoon I spoke to James
:03:51. > :03:52.Saunders, the solicitor representing I asked him why it wasn't already
:03:53. > :03:57.a person's right to have access to I have no idea what has driven
:03:58. > :04:02.the East Anglian police to take High Court judge said, well, there
:04:03. > :04:11.wasn?t actually a right,. And that has meant that the processes of
:04:12. > :04:14.cooperation which have successfully got us by over many years have come
:04:15. > :04:18.to an end and so we?re going to the which have successfully got us
:04:19. > :04:21.by over many years have come to an end and so we?re going to
:04:22. > :04:45.the Supreme Court to overturn it. How, at the moment, does someone
:04:46. > :04:48.like Antonio Lopes, for example, get that DNA looked at if he needs to?
:04:49. > :04:53.Does he have to get permission from you can go to the Criminal Cases
:04:54. > :04:57.Review Commission and, indeed, Does he have to get permission from
:04:58. > :05:00.the Criminal Cases Review Board? got any fresh evidence, that is, the
:05:01. > :05:04.work hasn?t been done to look for Antonio Lopes has done that and they
:05:05. > :05:09.said, oh, well, because you haven?t got any fresh evidence, that is, the
:05:10. > :05:12.work hasn?t been done to look for the DNA, then we can?t refer
:05:13. > :05:16.the case back to the Court of Appeal then it would happily put me out of
:05:17. > :05:21.a job, but at the moment there is no route for a man like Antonio Lopes,
:05:22. > :05:25.other than what I?m going to do. And if you do win this case at the
:05:26. > :05:29.Supreme Court, do you envisage it would happily put me out of a job,
:05:30. > :05:33.but at the moment there is no route for a man like Antonio Lopes,
:05:34. > :05:40.other than what I?m going to do. I'm sure there will be more than
:05:41. > :05:43.just the two that I am dealing with, but what they do in the States, and
:05:44. > :05:47.what could he be intelligent way to approach it here, would need to have
:05:48. > :05:52.a look at the other evidence in the case. In cases where the evidence is
:05:53. > :06:01.circumstantial it seems to me that if there is an opportunity to
:06:02. > :06:06.resolve matters then it would be absolutely right to do that.
:06:07. > :06:10.Obviously there are instances where DNA evidence is looked at again by
:06:11. > :06:16.the police themselves. Absolutely. It is a very unequal position and
:06:17. > :06:27.logically saw. If the police wanted to check out the DNA themselves on
:06:28. > :06:31.the Kevin Nunn case, they could just what then the corridor and get the
:06:32. > :06:39.information and send it to their lab. They are less happy to do that
:06:40. > :06:45.in solves, ' is, crimes, than on salt grains. If it turned out that
:06:46. > :06:49.it was the person `` ban on unsolved crimes. As it turned out that it was
:06:50. > :06:51.not that person, then it would have to be opened again.

:07:38. > :07:42.not exactly very happy about it. It means a lot to me and to dad. I have
:07:43. > :07:50.been very upset, because it is his life. He is going to town, trying to
:07:51. > :07:56.live a normal life. Why can't you get a blue bag yourself? Because I
:07:57. > :08:01.do not drive. If we did not have the blue badge, we cannot go to certain
