U.S. Supreme Court denies Dutschke

WASHINGTON,D.C. (WCBI) – The legal wrangling of the Tupelo man sent to prison for sending Ricin laced letters to President Barack Obama, Senator Roger Wicker and others is over.

The U.S. Supreme Court says it will not hear an appeal filed by J Everett Dutschke meaning a lower courts ruling denying him a new trial stands. Dutschke is currently serving a 25 year federal prison term. He is housed in the maximum security federal prison in Tuscon Arizona
