Facts of the Crime:
Convicted and sentenced to death by lethal injection on October 15, 2009 for the capital murder of Toni Lim, nearly two decades after she was found dead in her Homewood apartment and three years after DNA evidence linked him to the crime scene. Petric has continued to maintain his innocence, saying he had only consensual sex with Lim, 23. Someone else, Petric contends, bound her hands and wrists and hogtied her, sexually assaulted her, slit her throat and stabbed her in the back of the neck before leaving her in bed, bleeding with a gag around her neck, on March 9, 1990.
