| D.C. sniper wants to drop death row appeals |
 McLEAN, Virginia (AP) -- Washington-area sniper John Allen Muhammad is asking prosecutors in a letter to help him end legal appeals of his conviction and death sentence "so that you can murder this innocent black man."
In a two-page letter obtained by The Associated Press on Tuesday, Muhammad said he has tried to stop his defense attorneys from pursuing the appeals, and that he was counting on the state attorney general to assist him.
Muhammad told the prosecutors' office that he is waiving all rights to appeal his 2003 conviction and death sentence for the sniper killings in 2002 that terrorized the Washington region.

| Georgia killer executed after lethal injection moratorium |
 ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- A Georgia man convicted of kidnapping and killing his girlfriend was executed Tuesday.
William Earl Lynd was the first inmate to die by injection since September, when the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to consider whether the three-drug combination represented cruel and unusual punishment.
The process began at 7:34 p.m. and ended 17 minutes later at 7:51 p.m., said Paul Czachowski, public affairs manager for the Georgia Department of Corrections. "The condemned declined to make a last statement or accept a prayer; he remained quiet and calm throughout the whole procedure," he said.

| Court denies stay for condemned Georgia killer |
ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- The Georgia Supreme Court on Tuesday denied William Earl Lynd's request for a stay of execution, paving the way for him to become the first inmate in the nation to face execution since the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that lethal injection is constitutional.
Lynd's attorney plans to appeal immediately to the U.S. Supreme Court.
If that fails, Lynd is scheduled to be put to death at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday.

 Police continued looking for fresh leads in the unsolved murders of four women after an Ormond Beach doctor who had a prostitute, handcuffs and weapons in his car was arrested Monday.

| Scesny family skeptical |
 Alex F. Scesny’s family is skeptical of allegations levied against the 38-year-old construction worker they call “Al.”
The family maintains a West Boylston rape charge is fabricated, and no evidence has been presented that would link him to a serial killer case.
In a telephone interview yesterday, Mr. Scesny’s sister-in-law, Teresa Scesny of Tennessee, said “Al” was a calm man and the peacekeeper of the family. |

| Ga. Board Denies Serial Killer Stay of Execution |
A Georgia board has denied condemned killer William Earl Lynd's clemency bid, paving the way for him to likely become the nation's first inmate put to death since the U.S. Supreme Court held that lethal injection is constitutional.
Lynd, 53, still has an appeal pending before the Georgia Supreme Court seeking to stay his execution, which is scheduled for Tuesday at 7 p.m. It is unclear when the state's top court will act on that request.
Lynd's lawyer, Tom Dunn, appealed to the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles, arguing that medical testimony presented at Lynd's 1990 trial was flawed and the jury that sentenced him to death never learned of a possible mitigating factor: He had been sexually molested by neighbors at age 8. |

| Family defends serial killer suspect |
Alex Scesny grew up as one of five “little Marines” in a large Berlin family lorded over by a hard-charging Korean War veteran, and shocked relatives say they can’t believe investigators are now calling him a “person of interest” in a decade-long string of hooker murders.
Scesny, 38, grew up protective of his three sisters, started work at 16, has a 12-year-old daughter he loves, and simply isn’t capable of butchering six women, according to family members.
“I’d hate to see him get the shaft for something he didn’t do,” said Scesny’s older brother Stanley Scesny. “I can’t even see him killing one. Not with his attitude. He was too mild. He was too quiet. He was not short-tempered at all.” |

| Doctor questioned about serial killings, house searched |
Since the arrest of an Ormond Beach doctor who had a prostitute, handcuffs and weapons in his car, Daytona Beach police are looking for fresh leads in the unsolved murders of four women.
The physician, Jerrold Ecklind, has voluntarily given police a DNA sample and his home has been searched for a handgun of the same type used in three of the four killings, the doctor's attorney said. No gun of that type was found, attorney Mike Lambert said, and DNA results are not complete.
Investigators also have questioned Ecklind about the murders, asking whether he knew any of the four women who were shot to death, Lambert said. |
