COLBERT COUNTY, AL (WAFF) -
The Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals upheld a death sentence in a Colbert County murder case.
The ruling just came out in the case of Anthony Lee Stanley.
The ruling found a judge had sufficient reasons to sentence Stanley to death despite a jury's recommendation of life without parole.
Stanley is on death row for killing Henry Earl Smith during a 2005 robbery.
This was the third time the court has reviewed Stanley's case.
