DNA experts take stand in Mintz murder trial

NEW HANOVER COUNTY -- DNA experts took the stand today in Barry Mintz's murder trial.

The experts testified that blood found on the shoes of Mintz and his friend David Allen matched the victim.

Prosecutors say Mintz and Allen beat Joe Bradshaw in a downtown Wilmington alley back in November 2004. Bradshaw died later from his injuries.

Allen pled guilty last week to second-degree murder. He is expected to testify against Mintz sometime next week.
