corroborated his testimony that he was responsible for the victim's death.

Furthermore, while an expert indicated at trial that the DNA testing of the semen found on the victim was inconclusive, more accurate DNA results would not be exculpatory or contradict Amato's testimony.

Therefore, we conclude that the district court did not err in denying the petition, and we ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED. 2
