Attorneys for Thomas Rosa are calling on a Massachusetts prosecutor to drop charges against him altogether, instead of trying the case again.
"Under a confluence of evidence analysis, the new DNA evidence and modern eyewitness science warrant a new trial," the decision reads.
The New England Innocence Project and the Boston College Innocence Program were scheduled to hold a news conference Monday outside Suffolk Superior Court in Boston, where representatives from both organizations planned to call on Suffolk County District Attorney Kevin Hayden's office to drop charges against Rosa instead of moving ahead with a fourth trial.
New DNA testing and analysis cast uncertainty over the forensic blood-typing evidence that prosecutors used to initially convict Rosa during trial, according to his attorneys and court filings.
