DA plans to retry man convicted in 1983 University Park killings

Jennifer Emily reports:
It's likely that Billy Allen killed two people in University Park in 1983.

It's just not clear which Billy Allen.

Billy Frederick Allen was convicted of murder that same year and sentenced to 99 years in prison for the slayings of Raven Dannelle Lashbrook, 33, and James Perry Sewell, 46. But the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals last year ordered a new trial, saying his defense attorney had been ineffective because he hadn't discovered evidence that Billy Wayne Allen might actually have been the killer.
