Chadrick Fulks, a man on federal death row for kidnapping and killing Alice Donovan of Galivants Ferry, will not get a new trial.
The Associated Press reports U.S. District Judge Joseph F. Anderson Jr. on Tuesday denied the motion by Fulks.
Anderson presided over a weeklong hearing in February to see if Fulks would get a new trial and sentence for the death of Alice Donovan.
She was kidnapped from the Conway Walmart parking lot in 2002.
Fulks pleaded guilty in her death. His co-defendant, Brandon Basham, was convicted. They were both sentenced to death.
Fulks and Basham went on a multi-state crime spree after escaping from a Kentucky jail in 2002. They also pleaded guilty to killing Marshall University student Samantha Burns, 19, in West Virginia.
Burns' body has never been found.
Fulks lead investigators to Donovan's body off Water Tower Road in Horry County in January 2009.
