Posted/updated on: June 11, 2012 at 4:37 pm

TYLER — A private lab is re-testing frozen DNA evidence in the brutal 1977 slaying of Linda Jo Edwards. KETK reports that Kerry Max Cook, convicted in the Tyler slaying, has asked a court for the re-test. Cook believes results will clear him. He’s been free since 1998 after taking a deal that convicted him of the murder but did not require him to admit he was guilty.
