WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court seemed unsure Wednesday on whether it should order a new sentencing hearing for a man who confessed to kidnapping, raping and killing a 16-year-old girl in Kentucky.
The justices heard arguments over Robert Keith Woodall ‘s death sentence for kidnapping and killing Sarah Hansen on Jan. 25, 1997, after forcing her from a convenience store in western Kentucky. Woodall acknowledged that he raped the girl and slit her throat twice before taking her body to Luzerne Lake and throwing it in the water.
