Handling Of Detroit Crime Lab Evidence Gives Hope To Families For Appeal On Cases

DETROIT (WWJ) - With the Michigan State Police soon to get involved in an investigation of the Detroit Crime Lab, some families are hoping it will help clear their loved ones who have been convicted of crimes.

One such person is Marilyn Jordan, of Detroit, who tells WWJ that she has been working to clear her son, 32-year-old musician Kelly Nobles, of his murder conviction in the 2000 death of his best friend.

Jordan says evidence from her son's case was stored at the now closed crime lab and left unattended.

Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy has called for an independent investigation by the State Police.
