DNA doesn’t match woman convicted in 1991 murders

DNA evidence from the 1991 murders of two elderly sisters in Kewaunee County does not match the DNA of the woman convicted of the slayings, lawyers in the case said Wednesday. The new test results could signal another victory for the UW Law School’s Wisconsin Innocence Project, which is seeking a retrial for Beth LaBatte, who is serving a life sentence for the murders of Ann and Ceil Cadigan.
