Supreme Court denies appeal for man convicted in the 1992 killing of two college students
SUMMARY: The Mississippi Supreme Court has denied Willie Jerome Manning’s appeal against his 1994 death row conviction for the murders of two college students. Manning’s legal team argues that there is new evidence, including witness recantations and a lack of forensic links to the crime. Despite his attorney’s assertion that the court’s ruling disregards this evidence, the majority opinion stated that Manning has already received ample justice. Dissenting justices argued for a hearing to investigate the recantations. Manning’s lawyers have indicated intentions to pursue further legal options.
