An appeal for Jamie Snow was heard on Tuesday May 12, by the Fourth DistrictAppellate Court, in Springfield, IL. Snow was convicted in 2001 for the 1991 murder of William Little. Little was the victim of an apparent robbery while working as a gas station attendant in Bloomington, IL. Snow has always maintained his innocence and says he was at home eating dinner with his family at the time of the murder. Snow is currently serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole.
