Desmonte Leonard's request for a new trial has been denied by Jacob Walker, Lee County circuit court judge, according to an AL.com article.
Leonard was accused of fatally shooting three people, including two former Auburn University football players in 2012, and was convicted of capital murder in October 2014.
Leonard's defense attorney said he should've been able to claim self-defense.
The request for a new trial that was filed Thursday, April 17, was denied.
