Supreme Court Denies Appeal for Evangelist
(AP) - The U.S. Supreme Court has denied an appeal by evangelist Tony Alamo of his conviction on charges of taking young girls across state lines for sex. Alamo was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 175 years in prison. The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied his appeal earlier this year and defense attorney John Wesley Hall appealed that ruling to the Supreme Court. The high court's website says the appeal was denied Monday.
