>> good evening. welcome to carolina. tonight we're coming to you from the city of greenwood, a diverse city and one that has the distinction of having the widest main street in the world. >> greenwood is a very small community. everybody seems to know everybody. we're related to everybody here. it is very tight knit. so when the news came out about this horrendous murder, it was devastating.

>> on a cold monday morning in 1982, the bruised and beaten body of 75-year-old dorothy edwards was discovered in this upscale home. >> dorothy edwards, she was just a loved woman in the community, and she had been horribly killed. >> dorothy was known as a graceful and charming woman with a beautiful singing voice and a wonderful sense of humor. [ sirens ] >> the next door neighbor, mr. holloway had noticed a couple of newspapers that had piled up, and he went over to check on her. >> on january 19th, 1982, inside the home holloway told police he found signs of struggle everywhere, a heavy glass ashtray shattered on the living room floor, a pair of bloody ice tongs.

dorothy edwards was found dead in her closet. >> the brutality of the crime scene, the blood, the way the body was and the stab wounds postmortem, it was just totally unbelievable. >> dorothy's body had 52 wounds, 11 broken ribs and abrasions on her vagina. >> the state forensic team gathered what evidence was inside the home. hair samples were found on the bed. blood in various places. outside there were some fingerprints. >> a crime scene wiped clean of fingerprints, police believe the killer made a mistake, a thumbprint found on the back door. dorothy's neighbor james holloway told police that edward lee elmore, a 23-year-old handyman worked for dorothy from time to time. although elmore had never been convicted of a felony, police matched his fingerprints from other misdemeanor arrests and

issued a warrant to bring him in, accusing him of murder and rape, among lesser charges. greenwood police went looking for elmore 36 hours after dorothy's body was found. >> i was working second shift with the detective division and the call came in saying the suspect was at his girlfriend mary's apartment. i went up and knocked on the door. >> the encounter was not what detective vandenburgh expected. >> i told them that we had a warrant for his arrest. and i told him it was for murder. his demeanor at that time was so nonchalant. oh, okay. which is totally out of context for anybody i've ever dealt with before in a situation like that. no outburst or violent behavior. just like oh, well. >> police took hair and blood samples and placed them in the county jailhouse.

even elmore's public defender had doubts about his innocence. >> many people will proclaim constantly their innocence and i cannot remember mr. elmore vociferously proclaiming his innocence. and i got the feeling that there might be something for him to hide. >> elmore's case came to trial only 82 days after his arrest. prosecutors say dorothy had been killed saturday night when elmore was alone and had no alibi. >> you want to find out whether or not mr. elmore had any alibis. and we found none. and mr. elmore, he was not very cooperative. he wouldn't hardly talk to me. >> police found small spots of blood matching dorothy's blood type on elmore's pants and shoes. >> back in the '80s, dna analysis had not been developed. when dna was available, it came back positive that it was the victim's blood.

>> prosecutors also told the jury that dozens of elmore's pubic hairs were found on dorothy's bed. and finally, prosecutors presented james gilliam, a prison inmate who claimed to hear elmore confess while he was in jail. >> that came out of nowhere. that just rocked me. mr. rockmore told gilliam that i went down there and robbed that lady, and she started screaming and i killed her. that was the lynchpin. >> the jury took less than five hours to reach a verdict. elmore was convicted and sentenced to death. but the conviction was overturned on appeal. >> there was one juror who was reluctant to impose the death penalty. and the trial judge went into the jury room and put pressure on the holdout juror to impose the death sentence. >> a new trial was ordered. same prosecutor, same defense attorneys, same outcome.

a third trial was held to reconsider the sentence and again, the decision was unanimous. 36 jurors had determined that edward elmore should be put to death. ♪ 11 years later, a 34-year-old law student named diana holt came to the south carolina death penalty resource center as a summer intern. one of her first assignments was reviewing elmore's case. >> the first time i saw the name, i was reading through the transcript. >> diana started having suspicions that elmore's trials weren't fair. she was troubled that there were no expert witnesses and rarely challenged any of the prosecution's evidence. diana knew that a competent defense was grounds for an appeal. >> i felt like there was something wrong.

i needed to meet eddie and give him an eyeball up and down. size him up. >> and who she met wasn't what he expected. >> meeting him, it is just the biggest, sweetest smile, and he is so docile and gentle and quiet and happy. happy. how is he on death row and happy? it just didn't make any sense. there was no way i was going to let elmore's case go. not just a start up. an upstart. gotta get going. gotta be good. good? good. growth is the goal. how do we do that? i talked to ups. they'll help us out. new technology. smart advice. we focus on the business and they take care of the logistics. ups? good going. we get good. that's great. great. great. great. great. great.

how bad it looks. it's not bad as it seems because god is still in control. >> bishop emmanuel spearman was pastor to edward lee elmore, the man accused of murdering dr. dorothy edwards. >> i have come to know edward in the late '70s. i pastored his home church. and his mother and i were best of friends. they didn't have a whole lot. >> one of 11 siblings, elmore's father was killed by a hit-and-run driver when elmore was 2. he grew up in dire poverty. >> he had a low i.q. i was a special ed teacher so i knew that he was slow. when i went to greenwood jail and i spoke with him, he really didn't know why he was there. and that bothered me. >> a hard worker, elmore got by on odd jobs like cleaning

gutters and washing windows, including for dorothy edwards. when dorothy was murdered, age old fears and recrimination surfaced in the community. >> i know race plays a role when it comes to the justice system. here in greenwood, there are those who still have their agenda, but it's a hidden agenda. >> i'm positive that race played in edward lee elmore's trials. make no mistake, i think that was because he was the black guy that they say killed an older white woman. >> searching through elmore's original trial, diana found potential grounds for appeal. her first target was public defender geddes anderson who seemed utterly unprepared to take on the case. >> i asked him, when did you start working on the case? eight days before the trail began. that's zero time. you can't even read all of the evidence and assess it and

crunch it. >> in retrospect perhaps i should have asked for more time. i never have proclaimed to be the best lawyer that ever graced the courtroom. >> overworked and underpaid, mr. anderson also had a reputation as a drinker. >> that's fair. that's a fair accusation. i have had certain, i guess you could say problems with it but i can say this categorically. i was totally clear headed and not drinking during those trials. everyone of them. but on the other hand, you know, i would go out on occasion. i'm not as bad as i used to be. >> in contrast, william t. jones iii, known as willie t., was considered a master of the courtroom. >> willie t.'s track record spoke for itself. he lost very few. he was very dramatic. i've seen that man cry in front

of the jury. mr. jones in the courtroom could probably outperform sir lawrence olivier. let's put it that way. >> he could overpower you, overcontrol you, and he was not beyond saying things that he couldn't prove if they weren't challenged. >> early in the first trial, anderson challenged jones by objecting that a single thumbprint was not enough to arrest elmore. >> in order to obtain an arrest warrant, the police obtain an upside down thumbprint on the back outside door frame. that's exactly consistent with cleaning the windows. cleaning the door. that is not probable cause in anywhere else in america that i'm aware of. but willie t. said, oh, well i'm glad you brought that up. the forensic pathologist let us know that she had located negroid pubic hairs on the victim's chest and abdomen. the defense shut their mouths and sat down.

>> if elmore's hair had in fact been found on the body, this was a new and explosive claim, a claim that went unchallenged by geddes anderson. >> did you ask to see that evidence? >> you would have to look at the transcript to see. i don't know if i did or not. >> according to the transcript, you did not ask to see that evidence. why would you not have asked to see that evidence? it seems like pretty important. >> well, i don't know how to answer that. i guess you'll have to take some nonanswer to that question. >> mysteriously, the pubic hair willie t. said was found on dorothy's body was never entered into evidence. as opposed to the hairs on the body, a separate group of 49 pubic hairs said to be found on dorothy's bed also raised diana's doubts. >> a lot of people saw the some 49 pubic hairs allegedly collected from the victim's bed as the most damaging evidence against mr. elmore.

but this item of evidence was a plain baggy like put your kids' sandwiches in when you're packing their school lunch. not sealed with red evidence tape that says evidence, do not tamper. this did not have that on there. >> evidence the bag contained 49 hairs. a number diana found suspiciously close to the number of hairs police pulled from elmore after his arrest. >> there was from what i understand about, 50 to 60 hairs that were collected, either being combed or pulled. >> but if elmore's hair had been found at the crime scene of the nearly 100 crime scene photographs, not a single photo showed hairs on the bed. >> any kind of evidence you collect at a crime scene, the first thing you do is photograph it. >> there was no pictures of the hair on the bed. there was pictures of everything except the most crucial evidence in the case. so it became obvious to me something wasn't quite right. >> the only photo of the bed

shows it covered with police camera equipment, contaminating any evidence. the question became, where did the hairs in the baggy come from? >> there was no question they pulled those hairs from his body. they pulled a lot of them. and i don't think they were ever on the bed. i believe it was planted. >> diana was starting to see a pattern. >> there was all this ineffective assistance of counsel. there was no basis for probable cause to arrest mr. elmore anyway, and there was no list of negroid pubic hairs in the police inventory. there was no item like that. >> as diana dug deep entire the case, a new suspect began to emerge. she thought the next door neighbor who discovered dorothy's body had acted suspiciously. >> really? he put his gloves on before he went to open the door?

>> -- the aviation authorities and a multinational force. many of whom have been here on the ground since sunday. we have shared information in realtime with authorities who have the necessary experience to integrate the data. we have been working non-stop to assist the investigation. and we are put on national security, second to the search for the missing plane.

it is widely understood that this has been a situation without precedent. we have conducted search operation over land, in the south china sea, the straits of malacca, the andaman sea, and the indian ocean. at every stage, we acted on the basis of very fine information, and we followed every credible lead. sometimes these leads have led nowhere. there has been intense speculation. we understand the desperate need for information. on behalf of the families and

those watching around the world. but we have a responsibility to the investigation and the families, to only release information that has been corroborated. and our primary motivation has always been to find the plane. in the first phase of the search operation, we searched near mh 370's last known position in the south china seas. it was brought to our attention by the air force that based on their primary radar and aircraft, the identity of which

could not be confirmed, may have turned back. the primary data showed it went to the area north of the straits of malacca. given this credible data, which was subsequently corroborated with relevant international authorities, we expanded the area of search to include the straits of malacca and later to the andaman sea. early this morning, i was briefed by the investigation team, which includes the faa, ntsb, the aaib, the malaysian authorities and the acting minister of transport, on new

information that sheds further light on what happened to mh 370. based on new satellite communication, we can say, with a high degree of certainty, that the aircraft communications addressing and reporting system or acas, was disabled just before the aircraft reached the east coast of peninsula malaysia. shortly afterwards, near the border, between malaysia and vietnamese air traffic control,

the aircraft's transponder was stopped. from this point onwards, the royal malaysian air force primary radar data showed that an aircraft which was believed, but not confirmed, to be mh 370 did indeed turn back. it then flew in a westerly direction back over peninsula malaysia before turning northwest. up until the point at which it left military primary radar coverage, these movements are consistent with deliberate

action by someone on the plane. today, based on raw satellite data, which was obtained from the satellite data service provider, we can confirm that the aircraft shown in the primary radar data was flight mh 370. after much forensic work and deliberation, the faa, ntsb, aaib, and the malaysian authorities, working separately on the same data, concur. according to the new data, the

last confirmed communication between the plane and the satellite was at 8:11 a.m. malaysian time on saturday, 8th of march. the investigation team is making further calculations, which will indicate how far the aircraft may have flown after the last point of contact. this will help us to refine the search. due to the type of satellite data, we are unable to confirm the precise location of the plane when it last made contact with a satellite. however, based on this few data,

the thfrts of malaysia and their international counterparts have determined that the plane's last communication with a satellite was in one of two possible corridors. the northern corridor, stretching approximately from the border of kazakhstan, to northern thailand. or a southern corridor, stretching approximately from indonesia to southern indian ocean. the investigation team is working to further refine the information. in view of this latest development, the malaysian authorities have refocused their

investigation into the crew and passengers on board. despite media reports that the plane was hijacked, i wish to be very clear. we are still investigating all possibilities as to what caused mh 370 to deviate from its original flight path. this new satellite information has significant impact on the nature and scope of the search operation. we are ending our operations in south china sea and reassessing the deployment of our assets. we are working with the relevant countries to request all information relevant to the search, including radar data.

as the two new corridors involve many countries, the relevant foreign embassies have been invited to a briefing on the new information today by the malaysian foreign ministry and the technical experts. i have also instructed the foreign ministry to provide a full briefing to foreign governments which had information -- which had passengers on the plane. this morning, malaysian airlines has been informing the passengers and crew of these new developments. clearly the search for mh 370 has entered a new phase. over the last seven days, we have followed every lead and

looked into every possibility. for the families and friends of those involved, we hope this new information brings us one step closer to finding the plane. thank you. >> so there you malaysia, layint what they know about the investigation into the missing airliner, flight 370, and seeming to acknowledge all of the confusion and perhaps the missteps that have been made into what he called "a situation without precedent." and he acknowledged the fact it's an excruciating time for the families who wait to know what happened on that plane and what happened to their loved ones. he reiterated what we've learned about the investigation that there's the faa and the ntsb

from the united states. that this airplane did make a turn, it had erratic altitude changes going above the ceiling allowed, and down to 23,000 feet. he also acknowledged what we do know about the transmission being cut off. so that the airline could not be tracked, and he says that the actions that they have learned about what happened with the transmission is consistent with deliberate action of someone on the plane. but he reiterated that despite reports that it might have been a hijacking that they are investigating all possibilities of why this plane deviated from its path, and he also acknowledged about the northern corridor and the south corridors, the northern going as far as kazakhstan, as far as the search and the southern corridor

they're caesaresearching to the southern indian ocean. still no trace of this airplane. but that's the latest from the prime minister of malaysia. according to the data they've received, it's consistent with someone taking deliberate action to this airplane. who that was, they don't know, but they are investigating everyone on that plane, including the pilots. we'll continue to bring you any more information we'll get on this investigation, into this unbelievably agonizing situation that pretty much has everyone in the world wondering what happened to this airline. he reiterated all of the countries that are involved. 14 countries, some 43 ships that are searching, dozens and dozens of aircraft that are searching and again, no trace of the airplane so far.

he also said that they are still unable to confirm the precise location of the airplane when it lost satellite contact. so that is, in part, the problem with trying to find this airplane, and where it might have gone down. but again, reiterating, based on the new reports, he did say, there's a high degree of certainty that the aircraft communications systems were disabled by someone on that plane. who, we just don't know. jim clancy has been monitoring this and he's been in kuala lumpur since this mystery began. what are your take-aways from the prime minister's report, jim? >> well, first of all, he is addressing the families. he's saying he hopes this is going to at least give them some information about where the investigation stands up to this

point. what he said was, and you just hit on it there, the actions of turning off the communications, the tracking device, you know, the transponder, all of this was consistent with deliberate action by someone on the plane. he said based on all -- all of this was based on raw satellite data that they have had for some time, that now they confirm was actually coming from that flight 370. very importantly, he said a whole new phase in the investigation has opened up. stop all of the searching in the south china sea. focus in the indian ocean. and he's going to hold consultations with the countries that may be involved in that search effort. there's been a lot of the neighbors that have come together. unclear whether they want to continue on into the indian ocean. the indian navy has joined that. the u.s. navy is there as well. they're beginning that search

already before the prime minister spoke today. but he said he's instructed the foreign minister to give a full briefing to the countries that may be involved here and he said it goes all the way from the border of kazakhstan and turkmenistan in one corridor, all the way down to just open water in the southern indian ocean, from indonesia. so a huge area, to be covered. no doubt about that. and he wants to bring in some of these countries that might have radar records. he says they're being invited. they're going to be briefed, and they're going to try to find out if they can collect even more data that will yield some solid clues, particularly if it took that northern route. there would be countries that would have radar records that might be able to shed some light on what has happened to flight 370. so a lot coming out of that

press conference, perhaps more than i expected. when we look at it on its face, it seems that the malaysian government is telling us they understand. now they have to go back. they have to look at every single person on that passenger manifest. and yes, they're going to have to look more closely at the crew members, if for no other reason, than to clear them. natalie, back to you. >> all right, jim clancy, thank you. continuing to cover the story from kuala lumpur. we'll bring you any more developments as we get them. we will now join business traveler in progress. thank you for watching. i'm nat lie allen, cnn center. not just a start up. an upstart. gotta get going. gotta be good. good? good. growth is the goal. how do we do that? i talked to ups. they'll help us out. new technology. smart advice. we focus on the business and they take care of the logistics. ups? good going. we get good. that's great.

find your away. for a dealer and the rv that's right for you, visit gorving.com. while edward lee elmore sat on death row, waiting for his appeal to move forward, diana holt took on other death penalty cases. in one, she was able to get a last-minute stay of execution over the objections he dug through her past looking for anything to get her off the case. in april 2000, he called her to a deposition. >> it was at the attorney general's office.

there were six attorneys across the table from me and all of them lined up like this. looking. don zelenka asked have you ever done anything in the course of your life that would reflect poorly on the legal profession? and i said yes. >> diana feared that if her story became public, it would ruin her reputation and destroy elmore's chances for a new trial. in 1975 at the age of 17, diana ran away to new orleans with a few friends. >> it was a horrible time. my sister had been taken away by the state of texas. it had to do with sexual abuse that i suffered. i was 17. i didn't know how to deal with stuff like that. so i left. i met these three people.

went to new orleans with them and after a little bit, i wanted to go home. i didn't have any money and there was a plan. so i went to the french quarter, started talking to this guy. and the ruse was that i would exchange sex for money. we left bourbon street together, got in his car and one of the two guys came in. he got on the passenger side. i was scrunched in the middle. >> diana's friend pulled a gun and demanded money. the driver gave them $60. they jumped out of the car and ran. >> made it about three blocks. pulled over by the new orleans police department, up against the wall. the victim was a u.s. marshal. it's like dumb and dumber a little bit. what do you expect from an air head 17-year-old. i pled guilty to armed robbery and off i went to the louisiana

correctional institute for women. one day, the prosecutor in my case came to the prison to visit and he said, i just want you to know that you don't have to be what you did that day, and you can make it, and you can be somebody. and i'm still -- why wouldn't every prosecutor want to do that? >> diana began studying in the prison's law library, researching cases of fellow inmates and sending letters to the presiding judges. she even had one woman's sentence reduced. >> doing the few things that did that made an impact, i want more

of that. i want to do more of that. i want to help people like that. >> a model prisoner, diana was released in 1977 with a full pardon. the whole episode became a distant memory until donald zelenka confronted her with it nearly 25 years later. >> i was like, you know what? you opened the door. i'm walking through it. let's do this. i'm going to tell it all. not just the part you want to hear. >> but the judge in the case, visibly disgusted by zelenka's tactic, disallowed the deposition. diana could continue her fight for elmore's life. at elmore's trial, prosecutor willie t. had claimed that negroid hair had been found on the body. when the petition had asked to see the hair it had gone missing. now 16 years later, the hair suddenly turned up. >> the prosecution has an obligation to turn over to the defense anything which is favorable.

in this case, they didn't do it at the time of trial. >> as it turns out, none of the hairs were negroid at all. they were all caucasian hair, and they did not belong to mr. elmore. >> and that should be sufficient to warrant a new trial. >> we got all excited. asked for the judge to set a hearing. it was december 20th or 21st. we were going to have christmas beyond all christmases. >> on december 21st, 2000, a new hearing was held. if a new trial were to be granted, elmore could be released on bail and join his family for the holidays after more than 18 years on death row. >> all rise. >> judge ernest kinard again presided, the same judge who hat stated that elmore may well not be guilty. >> lab corps has sent us a report indicating there are

hairs from someone other than dorothy edwards and there were no hairs of anyone of african-american descent. >> he acknowledged the evidence should have been given to the defense but argued only one of the hairs had sufficient dna to read. >> we do not dispute the materials recovered from the victim's body at the time of the autopsy. one hair, not hairs. one hair. >> it was merely another hair in the bedroom. of mrs. edwards. this is a completely different case than what the jury heard. in the final analysis, the question really is if not now, when? if this is not enough to grant somebody a new trial, then when is post conviction relief ever appropriate? >> unexpectedly, rather than adjourn and read the filings before ruling, the judge issued his decision on the spot. >> all motions are denied. >> the judge said, one hair is not enough. i'm out of here.

>> in this case, there are a number of things that stink and if you look at it as a whole, it doesn't just stink, it reeks. >> an execution date was set for elmore. he was placed in a high security lockdown cell while awaiting his date with the electric chair. now a mere three weeks away. >> i tried my hardest to get him ready for it. and he called me one day and he said, are they going to kill me? i think i told him in the most simple terms i could tell him that they were going to have to take me out first.

after 22 years on death row, edward elmore was in lockdown, a special holding cell for inmates awaiting execution. with only 23 days to go, diana filed a last-minute appeal and got a stay of execution. but this was only a temporary solution. if elmore was to survive, they would need a new strategy. >> the supreme court issued a landmark death penalty decision. >> and a supreme court decision from 2002 gave them an opportunity. >> in a stunning reversal of course, the u.s. supreme court ruled executing mentally disabled criminals is unconstitutional. >> the question was whether elmore was in fact mentally disabled. >> he was tested.

and the state department of special needs finds that edward lee elmore is mentally retarded. >> elmore's death sentence was commuted to life in prison. after nearly 28 years, elmore was finally leaving death row. [ screaming ] >> sorry, that's exactly what i did. i get mr. elmore on the phone. i say hey, you're going to be leaving death row. i'm not going to die? no, well, not there. >> elmore's life had been spared. but diana hadn't fought for years to see elmore die behind bars. her team had one last hope to get him a new trial. the u.s. 4th circuit court of appeals would be the highest court ever to hear elmore's case. >> the 4th circuit has the reputation of being the most conservative federal appellate court in the country. so we felt our chances of

prevailing were very slight. >> in yet another face-off with donald zelenka, the court's circuit three-judge panel heard oral arguments in september of 2010, and remarkably, they came down hard on zelenka. >> the time of death, we were locking it down because the defendant was seen at 9:30 headed that direction. >> locking down the time of death based on what his alibi was. i thought you locked down time of death by science. >> the judges have moral righteous indignation in their voices and what they're saying. >> you put in evidence there was hairs found on the bed there was a big part of the conviction? >> yes, it was. >> not one photograph was taken where the hairs were supposed to be. does that make sense to you? >> well, i don't know. >> do you think that makes a difference now that we know he is mentally retarded? >> no, not at all. >> in this case, this is just a constellation of problems. >> even though the judges seem to be raising some serious questions, i came out of the argument feeling negative about our prospects. i didn't think the court had much incentive to overturn his conviction.

>> we didn't hear anything for month after month. 14 months went by. and then i get an e-mail in my inbox. heart stops. i start hyperventilating. i clicked on it, and the opinion is 190-something pages long. and where is the good part? >> the most conservative appellate court in the nation had ruled 2-1 that elmore deserved a new trial. >> everyone in the death penalty community, what happened? we don't win like that, and not there. but we did. >> the state was reluctant to retry the case, knowing the evidence the defense had unearthed could implicate both police and prosecutors. so they offered elmore a plea bargain. >> and the prosecutor asked is there anything short of outright dismissal of all charges that we can do to settle this matter? and i said in fact there is.

he goes free at the bond hearing, and he is going to continue to say the truth he said all of these years, i'm innocent. and the prosecutor said okay. >> but the plea required that elmore say in open court that the state could likely prove their charges against him at a trial. it wasn't the exoneration they were hoping for, but it would mean freedom. >> new tonight, he was once on death row. now he is a free man. after 30 years, edward elmore was released from prison today. >> oh, thank the lord. give me a minute. i'm a little overwhelmed right now. just so excited, i couldn't hardly speak. locked up all them years something i didn't do, and comes along, she believed in me. >> were you afraid of dying?

>> not in a way, but like i say, i knew the truth would eventually come out, right. that's kept me going. it kept my faith right, and just taking it one day at a time. that's all you can do, you know, and hope and pray that everything come out all right. >> mr. elmore had been incarcerated for 11,000 days. the judge told mr. elmore that he had exhausted his sentence and he was free to go. you are free to go, mr. elmore. >> we could walk him out that door of the courtroom and down those steps as a free man. and that was -- i'm sorry. that was the best moment of my life as an attorney. >> elmore moved back in with his

sister, and has begun the process of adjusting to a world very different from the one he left. >> so much had changed, you know, since -- trying to get used to everything. still trying to adjust to things. it's so technical, right, phones and computers and all that stuff. it's really, really hard. i'm trying to learn how, you know. i'm trying to cope with it. >> eddie's case taught me a lot of things about our justice system. it taught me to be distrustful, skeptical. geography can make the difference. money, of course. gender, of course. race is the one that is just a dagger to the heart. but it also taught me to never give up on it. that even 30 years later, someone will listen. as long as you don't give up, justice is possible.
