capital murder conviction of suspected serial killer and death row
inmate Jeremy Bryan Jones.
The Oklahoma man was sentenced to die in 2005 for killing
43-year-old Lisa Marie Nichols. The victim was slain in her rural
Mobile County home in September 2004.
An execution date has not been set for Jones and could be years
away as the appeal proceeds.
At the time of his conviction, Jones was also charged in the
deaths of a 16-year-old girl in Douglasville, Georgia, and a woman
in New Orleans.
Authorities previously said Jones confessed to at least a dozen
slayings.
Among other appeal issues, Jones claimed his trial should have
been moved from Mobile because of publicity, but the Alabama Court
of Criminal Appeals rejected that argument.
The court also noted that Jones has a long history of drug
abuse, but said that was no excuse for murder.
