EASTPOINTE, Mich. (AP) The U.S. Supreme Court turned down an appeal from a man who was a teenager when he was involved in a notorious kidnapping and murder that began at a sandwich shop in suburban Detroit.
Ihab Masalmani has been challenging his no-parole sentence, especially since trial judges now are required to consider life experiences and other factors when teens are convicted of murder. But the Supreme Court on Monday said it wouldn t take his case.
In 2009, Matt Landry, 21, was abducted from a fast-food parking lot in Eastpointe. His body was found days later in a burned-out Detroit house.
