RALEIGH – A lawyer for a North Carolina man exonerated of a prostitute's murder in a groundbreaking innocence hearing says police now want to test the clothing her client was wearing for the victim's DNA.

In a letter sent Tuesday to Raleigh police, attorney Chris Mumma reluctantly grants permission to test the clothing Greg Taylor was wearing when Jacquetta Thomas was slain in September 1991.

Mumma says Taylor wants any doubt about his role in the crime removed.

A police spokesman declined to immediately comment.

A three-judge panel found Taylor innocent of the murder last month and freed him from prison after more than 16 years. It was the first exoneration for the state's Innocence Commission, which is the only panel of its kind in the nation.
