佛罗里达最高法院驳回Loran Cole1994年谋杀案的上诉,为联邦法院上诉铺平了道路。 Florida Supreme Court denies Loran Cole's appeal in 1994 murder case, paving way for federal court appeals.

佛罗里达最高法院驳回了死囚洛兰·科尔的上诉,他因1994年谋杀一名佛罗里达州立大学学生而被定罪。 The Florida Supreme Court rejected Death Row inmate Loran Cole's appeal, who was convicted for the 1994 murder of a Florida State University student. Cole的律师认为,他在一所国立男童学校中面临的虐待助长了他的行为,一项新法律为虐待受害者提供了赔偿方案。 Cole's attorneys argued that abuse he faced at a state school for boys contributed to his behavior and a new law created a compensation program for abuse victims. 然而,法院裁定,新法不是“新发现的证据”,并驳回了与Cole的帕金森病症症状有关的申诉,为联邦法院在预定处决前最后一刻上诉创造了条件。 However, the court ruled that the new law was not "newly discovered evidence" and rejected claims related to Cole's Parkinson's disease symptoms, setting the stage for last-minute federal court appeals before his scheduled execution.
