The nation’s highest court won’t review the case of one man on Alabama’s Death Row.

In its weekly order list released Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court announced that it has denied a writ of certiorari, or a request to review the case, for Alabama inmate Michael Brandon Kelley. Kelley, 39, is currently on death row at Holman Prison in Atmore.

Kelley petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court after the Alabama Supreme Court denied his request in August.

Kelley was convicted in St. Clair County on two counts of capital murder and one count of sexual torture in the 2008 slaying of Emily Lynn Milling. He has been on death row since 2010.

Kelley was 29 at the time he was convicted of killing 23-year-old Milling, whose body was found off River Road in Leeds in November 2008. Witnesses testified at Kelley's trial that Milling had been choked and beaten to death. At trial, records state, officials testified that blood and DNA found inside of Kelley’s Chevy Blazer and inside his mobile home matched Milling's blood.

In January 2018, the state court denied a writ of certiorari for the inmate, but he petitioned to the Criminal Court of Appeals. That court denied his application for rehearing in June.

In his request to the U.S. Supreme Court, Kelley argued that his conviction violates double jeopardy laws because one of the capital murder counts he was convicted on was for murder during sexual abuse-- the same abuse detailed in his sexual torture count.

The nation’s highest court didn’t release an opinion on the denial.
