Three men cleared of murder charges by new DNA evidence

Three men who were convicted of killing a Cabell County woman nearly twenty-years ago are being cleared of any charges in the case after new DNA evidence was presented. Murder charges against brothers Phillip and Nathaniel Barnett, as well as Justin Black, were dismissed. A fourth man, Brian Dement, gave police conflicting statements implicating himself and the other three men. Dement was convicted of the murder and is out of jail after serving his sentence.
