Court Panel Rejects Appeals Of Convicted Cop Killer

A death row inmate who killed a Columbus police officer during a bank robbery in 2005 has lost his appeal.  A three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati this week rejected 24 different claims from 38-year-old Daryl Lawrence. The judges say Lawrence received a fair trial in the death of officer Bryan Hurst. He was killed at a North side bank while working special duty.  Lawrence was convicted on eight charges.
