The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal from a Texas death row inmate whose bid for a new trial drew the support of the prosecutor's office that originally put him on death row.
The justices left in place a Texas appeals court ruling that upheld the murder conviction and death sentence for Areli Escobar, even though Escobar's case is similar to that of an Oklahoma man, Richard Glossip, whose murder conviction the high court recently overturned.
