BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - The U.S. Supreme Court is refusing to review the appeal of an Alabama inmate condemned to die for the gunshot slaying of a motel clerk in 1987.
Al.com (https://bit.ly/2dtqneC ) reports that the court rejected the case of death row inmate Doyle Hamm on Monday.
Hamm was sentenced to die after being convicted of fatally shooting Patrick Cunningham during a holdup in Cullman.

Hamm has argued in his appeals that a Tennessee robbery case was wrongly tied to his Alabama prosecution, and he contends his defense lawyers were ineffective during his trial.
Hamm also contends that an Alabama court simply published a proposed order by the state attorney general’s office rather than writing its own decision in the case.
The Supreme Court refused to consider the arguments by Hamm.
