twitterCourt denies petition of death row inmate Doyle
Friday, Feb. 4, 2000 | 10:56 a.m.
CARSON CITY -- Anthony L. Doyle, sentenced to death for the beating-strangulation of a 20-year-old woman in Clark County, has lost his second appeal to the Nevada Supreme Court.
Doyle, who will be 29 on Wednesday, was convicted of the Jan. 16, 1994, slaying of Ebony Mason whose body was found in the desert near Las Vegas.
The court rejected claims by Doyle that his attorney failed to adequately research and prepare for trial. He complained his lawyer failed to develop proper instructions to the jury; failed to try to get evidence suppressed and failed to keep out of the trial statements he had made to the police.
He was initially convicted of first-degree murder, first-degree kidnapping and sexual assault. The Supreme Court, in its first decision on the case, ruled there was insufficient evidence to show the sexual assault occurred prior to Mason's death. It reversed the conviction for sexual assault but upheld the other convictions and the death penalty.
