Worley Appeals…Denied.

The Ohio Supreme Court affirms the death penalty imposed on James Worley…in the 2016 murder of 20-year-old Sierah Joughin. In a unanimous opinion, the bench rejected Worley’s appeal of the murder conviction and sentence…including his contention that jury selection in Fulton County and the trial itself was tainted by revelations of a similar attack of a woman by him in 1990. The Supreme Court also rejects Worley’s other legal claims, contesting his conviction and sentence.
