Overview

• Adam Samia sought a new trial for his role in killing a real estate broker in the Philippines.
• Samia claimed he was wrongly implicated based on another man's confession, but the court said prosecutors protected his rights.
• The confession substituted "someone" for Samia's name but juries were told to ignore it in assessing Samia's guilt.
• Samia was tried with two other men for carrying out the killing on orders from crime boss Paul LeRoux.
• The Supreme Court rejected Samia's request for retrial, upholding his original conviction.
