Indiana Decisions - U.S. Supreme Court rejects appeal of 25-year-old murders

As reported in this AP story yesterday:

WASHINGTON -- The Supreme Court refused today to review an appeal from an Indiana death row inmate convicted in the killings nearly 25 years ago of two young children and their parents.

The court did not comment in refusing to hear the appeal filed by attorneys for Donald R. Wallace, 47. Lower courts have upheld his death sentence for the murders of Theresa and Patrick Gilligan and their two children inside their Evansville, Ind., home.

A story by Maureen Hayden of the Evansville Courier & Press today recounts the details of the crime.
