The West Virginia Supreme Court declined to hear the Kanawha County prosecutor's appeal on two murder indictments against Greg Marsh Jr. He had been ruled mentally incompetent and confined since 1971, with the earlier indictments later dismissed. The court also refused Oldaker's bid for back pay after a suspension tied to a stolen property case, in a 4-1 ruling.
