Jurors have begun deliberations in the perjury trial of Representative Barry Moore from Enterprise.

 

An Alabama inmate lost his bid to overturn his sentence of life without parole that he received when was 17.

The Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals denied the bid of 40-year-old Gregory Wynn who once was condemned to the death penalty for committing murder. He was convicted of capital murder in the killing of 33-year-old Denise Bliss in 1998 when she was beaten and left inside a freezer while working at a Hardee's.

A judge changed Wynn's sentence to life without parole in compliance with a Supreme Court decision about juvenile offenders.
