EUGENE, Ore. (AP) - A man convicted in the death of his ex-fiancee will not get an appeal on the grounds that police interrogated him after he told them he did not have legal representation.
KVAL-TV reports (https://bit.ly/2cBEQFY) Robert Allen Cromwell was convicted in the 2013 death of 26-year-old Casey Wright.
He is serving a life sentence with the possibility of parole after 25 years.
The Lane County District Attorney’s Office said the Oregon Court of Appels rejected the claim that police should have stopped the interrogation when they learned Cromwell did not have legal representation.
A police officer’s affidavit says Cromwell read Wright’s text messages while she slept and then hit her four times in the head with an aluminum baseball bat.
