WASHINGTON (AP) - John Fry was convicted of shooting two people to death alongside a northern California highway even though a witness overheard another man confess to the crimes.
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court debated whether a trial judge's decision to exclude the witness' testimony warrants overturning Fry's conviction, which resulted in a life term in prison.
Fry's lawyer argued that the state trial court had significantly violated his client's constitutional rights by barring Pamela Maples' testimony against her cousin, Anthony Hurtz.
