Attorneys for convicted killer Darlie Routier are having old evidence tested again in an effort to try and prove Routier is innocent.
Now parts of a window that was removed from Darlie Routier's house in Rowlett are headed to a lab in California. It's part of an all-out push by the Innocence Project to try and prove Routier did not kill her two boys in 1996.
A judge has signed an order allowing parts of a window to be packaged up and sent overnight using federal express.
At the time of the high profile murder, Routier claimed an intruder had broken into her home and killed her two boys and wounding her in the process.
An entire window, bricks and all, was removed from the house and used at the trial. That evidence has been in storage the entire time.
While the Judge says it will be impossible to ship the whole thing, she did order parts to be removed and sent.
The judge also signed an order for a lab in Austin to turn all it's DNA findings over to the defense.
Routier has been on death row since her conviction.
