LAFAYETTE COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) — The Supreme Court says no to a new hearing for a death row inmate from Lafayette County.

By a narrow 5-4 vote, the high court decided against hearing any further appeals from Caleb Carrothers.

Carrothers is currently facing two death sentences for the 2009 murders of an Oxford man and his son.

Back in June, the high court denied Carrothers claims that blacks were illegally excluded from his jury, and that a 911 call from a family member was illegally entered into evidence.
