| Timothy Scott Boyle |
The Alabama Supreme Court has rejected an appeal by Timothy
Scott Boyle of his 2009 capital murder conviction in the 2005 death of
2-year-old Savannah White. Etowah County District Attorney Jimmie Harp says The
ruling exhausts Boyle's direct state appeals.
Boyle was convicted in November 2009 and sentenced to death by lethal
injection in March 2010 by Etowah County Circuit Judge David Kimberley for
murdering the child. Savannah, the
daughter of Boyle's girlfriend, died from a series of blunt-force injuries to
her head, according to testimony during Boyle's trial. Savannah's older sister
testified she saw Boyle slap the child around and throw her against a bathtub
in the family's Rainbow City home not long before her death on Oct. 27, 2005.
Other witnesses testified Savannah was afraid of Boyle in the weeks leading up
to her death.
