in Denver, The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the death penalty for a man convicted for his role in killing 3 men in September 1996 and then burning the house where the bodies were found.
The Court of Appeals agreed with Glenn Anderson that he received insufficient representation from his attorney during his sentencing hearing, and ordered that he be resentenced.
Anderson was sentenced to death in July 1997. He was one of three men convicted in the deaths of James Donald Poteet, 51, Keith Allen Smith, 24, and Terry Lynn Shepard, 39.
Richard Alford Thornburg was executed for his role in the slayings on April 18, 2006 (see). Roger Dale Embry is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
Prosecutors said the killings occurred during an argument over drugs and money.
