7:30am: U.S. Supreme Court DENIES Review Of Arizona Man Sentenced To 7 Life Terms For Sexual Abuse Of A Minor
To absolutely no one's surprise, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal of a southern Arizona man who was sentenced to seven life terms for sexually abusing a minor (under the age of 14) in the early 1990s. He was tried in absentia and his sentence was later reduced to 147 years, but the Supreme Court was not moved to consider his case.Byron Hagans is currently serving his sentence at the state prison in Florence.
The Supreme Court did NOT hand down its decision in Brnovich v Democratic National Committee today. The closely-watched voting rights case is one of the 12 remaining decision to be made before the Justices take their summer vacation.
