MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) — The Oregon Court of Appeals has denied a resentencing appeal for a southern Oregon man convicted of murdering his parents and sister in 1984.
The Mail Tribune reports that Billy Gilley Jr. had challenged a resentencing ruling by Jackson County Circuit Judge Ray White in December 2008.
Gilley had won the resentencing hearing by successfully appealing his original sentence — three consecutive life terms with a minimum of 30 years each.
But White ruled at the resentencing hearing that Gilley must remain in prison for at least another 36 years.
