From July 13, 2020:
Darlie Routier, the former Altoona resident who is facing a death sentence in Texas for the 1996 murder of one of her young children, was to have a post-conviction hearing in Dallas County last week, but it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
...
Routier’s attorneys also have filed a federal habeas corpus petition in the U.S. District Court of West Texas, but it has been on hold for more than a decade.
...
DNA testing of the evidence has been completed, and a bloody fingerprint found on a coffee table in the home was finally run through state and federal data bases, but it remains unidentified.
...
It also was reported that two dozen boxes of the prosecution files on the case have been reviewed by the defense team, which includes representatives of the Innocence Project of New York.
Because of the new evidence gleamed from the DNA testing and the prosecution files, an amended habeas corpus petition will be filed in the state court, the status report indicated.
...
While there has been a lot of activity in the past year concerning the Routier case, nothing has occurred concerning defense efforts to move the post conviction proceedings through the court system, Cooper said.
He said there has been “just a tiding-up” of the evidence.

So hurry up and wait for the Innocence Project to post something on its website indicating what they've done so far.
And yeah, what kind of intruder drops the murder knife on the floor but takes the time to replace the knife he used to cut the screen? Darlie's supporters claim bad forensics but IIRC *all* the knives in the block were tested and only one had fibers similar to the screen's.
And what intruder would have been more afraid of two little boys rousing their father than Darlie's screams waking Darin? Darlie should have been murdered first and likely the intruder would have then run out instead of deciding to stab two little boys.
If the boys were the targets then swiftly taking out Darlie would have been the priority. If Darlie was the target then why wasn't she stabbed multiple times?
Darlie was the only so-called victim with hesitation marks on her. Why? The intruder had no problem viciously stabbing two little boys multiple times but hesitated before slashing at rather than stabbing Darlie?
Generally speaking how likely would a potential rapist also choose to kill three people including two children? Why would that murderer decide to only superficially wound the adult? Uh uh, it makes no sense. MOO.
