ROCK HILL, S.C. —
Tuesday, a Rock Hill man serving a life sentence for the raping and killing of his 12-year-old daughter will ask for a new trial.
Billy Cope was convicted of strangling his daughter, Amanda, in 2001, but he claims his multiple confessions were coerced.
His attorneys also claim they have DNA evidence proving another man also convicted of the murder is the one who actually raped the girl.
