MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court refused on Tuesday to consider extending its ban on executing juvenile offenders to people who were as old as 20 when they committed their crimes.
The justices also denied a stay of execution for Michael Brandon Samra, who is scheduled to receive a lethal injection on Thursday at a south Alabama prison for participating in a quadruple murder at the age of 19.
Samra was convicted of helping friend Mark Duke kill his father Randy Duke, the father's girlfriend Dedra Mims Hunt, and her 6- and 7-year-old daughters, Chelisa and Chelsea, in Shelby County in 1997. Samra's attorney, Steven R. Sears, also has asked Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey for a temporary reprieve, saying there is growing concern about the appropriateness of the death penalty for offenders under 21 years old given the science on brain development and maturity.
