MADISON, Wis. (AP) A state appeals court granted a new trial Tuesday for a Milwaukee man convicted of a murder after a gun battle, saying a jury should hear from people who say he was never there.
Kenneth Davis has been trying to prove he did not take part in the shootout since a jury convicted him in 2001. The 1st District Court of Appeals finally agreed that he could present such testimony.
