PHOENIX, Arizona (AP) -- A convicted murderer who graduated from law school after getting out of prison was denied admission to the Arizona bar Wednesday he lacks "good moral character."
James Hamm, who served 17 years for his part in a drug-related robbery that left two men dead, had asked the Arizona Supreme Court to allow him to practice law.
The state bar association had recommended against his application, citing the seriousness of the crime and his failure to own up to his past. The five-member court unanimously sided with the bar association.
