Key Facts to Know About Pervis Payne
- Pervis Payne has always maintained his innocence.
For 33 years, Mr. Payne has consistently said he did not commit this crime and that he was an innocent bystander who happened upon the crime scene and tried to help. - Key evidence from the case that could identify the actual perpetrator of the crime — including the victim’s fingernail clippings — have gone missing.
For decades, the evidence in this case went untested. Last year, the Shelby County Criminal Court ordered testing and on Jan. 19, 2021, Mr. Payne’s lawyer’s submitted the results of the testing to the court, which included male DNA from an unknown third party, but it was too degraded to identify an alternate suspect using the FBI’s database. However, the State is unable to account for the crucial pieces of evidence that have mysteriously gone missing. The victim’s fingernail clippings, which have now disappeared, were particularly crucial as the prosecution argued at trial that the victim had scratched her attacker. - Etiam cras suspendisse commodo nibh ac diam cras felis, at.
