Supreme Court denies Texas death row inmate Areli Escobar's appeal for a new trial, despite DNA evidence concerns.

The US Supreme Court has denied an appeal from Texas death row inmate Areli Escobar, whose bid for a new trial was supported by the original prosecutor's office. Despite similarities to a recently overturned case involving Oklahoma's Richard Glossip, the Court upheld Escobar's murder conviction and death sentence without explanation. Escobar was convicted of the 2009 murder of a 17-year-old student, with the case centered around DNA evidence from a lab later found to have issues. Unlike Glossip, Escobar is not facing imminent execution.
