Bruce Lisker won't be retried, DA's office says

The Los Angeles County district attorney's office announced today it
would not retry Bruce Lisker, the San Fernando Valley man whose murder
conviction for the 1983 slaying of his mother has come into question.

"We remain confident in Mr. Lisker's original conviction of the
second-degree murder of his mother," a statement from the district
attorney's office said. "Much of the physical evidence has been
destroyed. Some witnesses are deceased."

Lisker was thrilled by the decision. "How can you put it into words?"
he said. "It's unbelievable."
