Supreme court upholds Georgia in Leo Frank death sentence
The U S supreme court ruled Georgia did not violate the federal constitution in sentencing Leo M Frank to death for the murder of Mary Phagan.

The case has spanned years with multiple appeals, and mercy now hinges on executive clemency or further filings.
