LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A federal appeals court upheld a conviction in a murder case of two Trinity High School students.
In 1984, Victor Taylor murdered two students — Scott Nelson and Richard Stephenson — of the private Catholic school in Louisville after they stopped at a restaurant for directions to a football game.
Taylor was convicted of kidnapping, robbery, sodomy and capital murder. He was sentenced to death.
After decades of unsuccessful appeals, Taylor filed a petition in federal court to have his conviction thrown out.
