    Supreme Court upholds death penalty sentences

    The Alabama Supreme Court has upheld the capital murder conviction and death sentence of a man convicted of beating a Boaz convenience store clerk to death with a metal pipe and a 6-pound can of peas.

    The court Friday upheld a decision of the Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals confirming the death sentence of 39-year-old Rick Allen Belisle. He was convicted of the May 19, 1999 beating death of Joyce Moore.

    The Supreme Court also upheld the capital murder conviction and death sentence of 31-year-old Michael Brown. He was convicted of killing 66-year-old Betty Kirkpatrick after breaking into her home in Hueytown in October 2001.

    Prosecutors said Brown tried to smother the woman and then cut her throat.

    Death row inmate from Marshall Co. seeks new trial

    MARSHALL COUNTY, AL (WAFF) - A man on death row is asking a Marshall County judge for a new trial, claiming his defense attorney was ineffective.

    Rick Allen Belisle was convicted of the brutal murder of a convenience store clerk in Boaz more than 15 years ago.

    His new attorney was present along with the attorney for the state attorney general's office as they met Monday to set up plans for a formal hearing.

    Belisle was not in the courtroom for the status hearing, but family members of the victim were.

    Belisle was convicted of the 1999 murder of Joyce Moore at the T&J Kwik Mart in Boaz where she was working.

    Investigators said she was beaten to death with a 6-pound can of peas and a metal pipe.

    Belisle's wife was convicted of murder. She received a 20-year sentence and testified against her husband at trial.

    The state supreme court upheld the murder conviction and death sentence back in 2008.

    The judge said in court he expected to set a formal hearing date for sometime in November.
