The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected a request by Indiana's attorney general's office to reinstate the death sentence of a man convicted of killing a central Indiana woman and her 4-year-old daughter.

Three legislative staffers and a state lawmaker say Attorney General Curtis Hill groped them at a party in March. Two other women corroborate those accusations. Hill denies the accusations.

The Indiana Attorney General's Office has filed an emergency stay in the case.
