Supreme Court refuses appeal in deadly Ala. bombing

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) The U.S. Supreme Court is refusing to hear the appeal of a death row inmate convicted in the bombing death of a federal judge from Alabama. <br /> <br /> The justices are declining to consider the case of Walter Leroy Moody Jr. <br /> <br /> The court didn't give any reason for its decision on Monday. The court previously refused an earlier appeal from Moody. <br /> <br /> The Alabama Supreme Court refused Moody's appeals in 2012. <br /> <br /> The Rex, Georgia, man was convicted of capital murder for killing U.S. Circuit Judge Robert Vance with a pipe bomb delivered to his home in Mountain Brook in 1989. <br /> <br /> The 79-year-old Moody also was convicted of sending a mail bomb that killed Robert Robinson, a city alderman in Savannah, Georgia. <br /> <br /> Moody has been on death row since 1997.
