FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP) -- A military appeals court won't consider an appeal from a former Fort Bragg soldier convicted of killing his lover's husband, who was a pilot at a neighboring Air Force base.
The Fayetteville Observer reported Wednesday the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces rejected John Diamond's petition.
Diamond was a Fort Bragg staff sergeant when he was convicted in 2001 of first-degree murder in the death of Air Force Capt. Marty Theer.
Prosecutors say Diamond plotted the killing with Theer's wife, Michelle. The 41-year-old psychologist was also convicted of first-degree murder and is serving a life sentence.
Marty Theer was a C-130 pilot at Pope Air Force Base.
Prosecutors say he was lured to his wife's office in December 2000 so Diamond could ambush him.
