U.S. Supreme Court Rejects Death Row Appeal
KENTUCKY...
The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from Brandon Basham, a federal death row inmate in South Carolina. In 2002, Basham was sentenced to death for kidnapping and killing Alice Donovan. Basham and Chadrick Fulks, who had both been inmates in Hopkins County, had escaped from the jail in western Kentucky before killing the 44 year-old Donovan. Basham, who said his death sentence should be thrown out, made the appeal due to juror misconduct. The Supreme Court justices did not comment on why the appeal was turned down.
