Reeves seeks Supreme Court review of death sentence
A federal public defender asks the U.S. Supreme Court for a new sentencing hearing for Craven County murderer Michael McGay Reeves. The defense argues the jury should have heard Reeves’ prior sentences from Virginia and other states to gauge his danger and ensure proper punishment. Reeves was sentenced to death in 1992 for the February 6 1989 killing of Susan Toler in her Ernil mobile home. The case faces an uphill path, with only about 80 of 9 000 annual appeals granted, though a state level round of appeals remains possible.
