In 2010, the New England Innocence Project reviewed Cameron’s case and recommended additional DNA testing by more modern testing procedures. Cameron's case was then accepted by the Massachusetts Committee for Public Counsel Services (CPCS) Innocence Program. Two additional CPCS attorneys, Harry Miles and Innocence Program director Lisa Kavanaugh, joined Edmonds on Cameron's legal team. With funding from a grant by the Bureau of Justice Assistance Wrongful Conviction Review Program, Cameron's legal team secured the assistance of a DNA expert, Michael Bourke, who along with expert Steven Laken, assisted Cameron in securing additional DNA testing of the woman’s underwear in 2012. The tests revealed that there was only one male DNA profile and that Cameron was excluded as the source of that DNA. The testing showed that the other DNA profile on the underwear was not that of a man—as the analyst had testified at Cameron’s trial—but rather came from a woman.
