Through attorneys from The Illinois Innocence Project, Jennifer McMullan, 39, filed a motion requesting the testing and retesting of forensic evidence collected March 6, 2001, the night Raul Briseno, owner of Burrito Express, was murdered.

In the motion, McMullan cites new testing available Monday that is able to provide more evidentiary data, which she believes will clear her of any crime related to Briseno’s death.
