Prosecutor: DNA Links Death Row Inmate To 1984 Murder --- Convicted
Murderer Always Claimed He Was Innocent
DNA tests have help put a put a murder victim's family's minds at rest.
Police said Anthony Apanovitch raped and murdered Mary Ann Flynn at her
Cleveland home in 1984.
Even though a jury convicted him and a judge sent him to death row,
Apanovitch has always proclaimed his innocence.
Now Cuyahoga County prosecutor William Mason says that DNA evidence links
the suspect to the crime.
"For over 20 years, the Flynn family has endured Apanovitch falsely
professing his innocence in the media. During this time, Apanovitch
consistently insisted that the state framed an innocent man, but he
refused to participate in any DNA testing," said Mason. "Now we know why.
He's a liar and an unrepentant killer."
