Court denies killer's appeal in Blakely murder case
A federal appeals court declined to hear Alfred Cleveland's appeal of a lower court ruling denying him a new trial for the 1991 slaying of Marsha Blakely in Lorain. The 6th Circuit said lawyers failed to show that reasonable jurors would favor him, despite prior rhetoric of possible innocence and claims of perjured testimony by a key witness. Cleveland remains imprisoned in Ohio as details of the crime, linked deaths, and multiple convictions continue to fuel legal challenges.
