Miss. high court tosses out appeal

Posted: Updated:

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - An appeal from three Lafayette County men convicted of having sex with a 3-year-old girl won't be heard by the Mississippi Supreme Court after all.

The Supreme Court, in a 6-2 decision this past week, said it had looked over documents submitted by the three and concluded "there is no need for further review."

Glenn E. Grose; his brother, Johnny Grose; and Timothy Jordan were convicted in 2008. The state Court of Appeals upheld the convictions in 2010. The Supreme Court had agreed last fall to take a look at the case.
