Charged with the rape and murder of a nine-year-old girl in 1984， Kirk Bloodsworth was tried， convicted， and sentenced to die in Maryland's gas chamber. From the beginning， he proclaimed his innocence， but when he was granted a new trial because his prosecutors improperly withheld evidence， the second trial also resulted in conviction; this time he was sentenced to two consecutive life terms. In jail Bloodsworth read every book on criminal law available in the prison library. When he stumbled across the first use (in England) of genetic fingerprinting， he persuaded a new lawyer to try for the then innovative DNA testing.
