MIAMI (AP) — Calling it "an extraordinary case" covering four decades, a federal appeals court Friday reinstated a conviction and death sentence in the 1966 contract murder of Sebring citrus and cattle baron Charles Von Maxcy. A three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta ruled that William Kelley "suffered no denial of his constitutional rights" when he was convicted of the murder of Maxcy, arranged by Maxcy's young wife through her lover.
