Death Row Appeal Denied
A Union County man’s attempt to leave Mississippi’s death row is turned back again.
The state supreme court today denied Marlon Howells request for a rehearing of his unsuccessful appeal. Back in October the justices ruled Howell was fairly convicted and sentenced to death for the 2000 slaying of newspaper carrier David Pernell . Pernell was attacked as he made his pre dawn deliveries in New Albany. Howell can now turn to the federal courts for further appeals of the case.
