The Missouri Supreme Court has turned away a death row inmate’s appeal for post-conviction relief that raised questions about the effectiveness of his counsel.
The state's high court ruled against Vincent McFadden on Tuesday. It's not clear whether he'll appeal. An Associated Press request for comment to his attorney wasn't immediately returned Tuesday.
McFadden was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death for killing Leslie Addison in St. Louis County in 2003.
McFadden argues that his attorneys didn’t order scans of his brain to present as evidence in court, among other complaints.
