A Santa Clara County judge in California has denied the motion by Richard Allen Davis to vacate the jury verdict sentencing him to death. Davis was convicted in 1996 for the 1993 kidnapping and murder of 12-year-old Polly Klaas, whom he abducted at knifepoint, a crime that shocked the nation. The judge's decision means that the death penalty sentence for Davis will stand, rejecting his resentencing bid.
