On March 10, 1981, Wanda Faye McCoy was raped and murdered in the home she shared with her husband, Bradley.  There were no signs of forced entry and police theorized that Wanda let her attacker into the house.  Suspicion soon turned to Wanda’s brother-in-law, Roger Keith Coleman, whose troubled history in the small town of Grundy, Virginia included a 3 year prison sentence for an attempted rape in 1977.  Physical evidence tied Coleman to the rape and murder.  In March of 1982, Coleman was convicted and sentenced to death.  His conviction and sentence were affirmed on direct appeal and his first state post-conviction claim was denied by the trial court.  The appeal of that denial was dismissed when his attorneys missed the deadline for filing a Notice of Appeal.  New attorneys took Coleman’s case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which issued a decision that is still cited as authority today.  Unable to prevail in the courts, Coleman’s advocates re-tried his case in the media in an effort to win clemency or reprieve from his sentence.  Coleman was executed in May, 1992, still professing his innocence.  In January, 2006, posthumous DNA testing ordered by Virginia Governor Mark Warner conclusively proved Coleman’s guilt.  Join Lisa and Michael at 8:30 p.m. Central for a wrap-up of the episode.  They'll talk about the DNA evidence and the mixed reactions to conclusive proof of Coleman's guilt.  We’re a live show and calls are always welcome at (347) 989-1171.
