EASTPOINTE, Mich. (AP) The U.S. Supreme Court turned down an appeal from a man who was a teenager when he was involved in a notorious kidnapping and murder that began at a sandwich shop in suburban Detroit.
Ihab Masalmani has been challenging his no-parole sentence, especially since trial judges now are required to consider life experiences and other factors when teens are convicted of murder. But the Supreme Court on Monday said it wouldn t take his case.
In 2009, Matt Landry, 21, was abducted from a fast-food parking lot in Eastpointe. His body was found days later in a burned-out Detroit house.

The future of Zoom in the courtroom
âLast week, I attended the 2021 Michigan Judicial Conference along with more than 600 other trial judges.
I can say without hesitation that I will always remember this conference for a number of reasons not the least being because none of us had to travel anywhere and instead we all attended the conference by Zoom.
This was a first for me and is but one of the many examples of how courts in the United States have adapted to the issues surrounding the pandemic to keep us all safe while functioning as fully as possible.
