    Alabama appeals court orders review of death row inmate's challenge

    MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama appeals court has told a lower court to take another look at a death row inmate's claims that his defense attorneys did not do a good job.

    The Alabama Court of Criminal Appeals sent the case of Jerry Devane Bryant back to Houston County Circuit Court on Friday for another look. Bryant claimed his attorneys should have retained a DNA expert and they did not do their best to suppress a statement he gave police and to impeach a witness at his trial.

    Bryant was convicted of capital murder and sentenced to death for the January 1997 slaying of Donald Hollis of Newville. His body was dumped across the state line in Greenwood, Fla.
