A man charged with allegedly killing Waliyatou Amadou is scheduled for an innocence protections act (IPA) inquiry. IPA seeks to minimize the occurrence of innocent people being put to death.
Deangelo Thorne was arrested in January 2017 and charged with second-degree murder while armed.
Judge Judith Bartnoff explained the government had tested evidence for DNA and had given that information to the defense. The defense is still determining whether they want to do independent testing.
Thorne is currently being held with no bond and is scheduled to appear back in court on March 9.
