ATLANTA (AP) - Georgia's top court has reinstated rape convictions of a man accused of making women don pantyhose with a hole and then raping them.
The court's unanimous ruling Monday reverses a decision by the
Georgia Court of Appeals that had thrown out the convictions
against Ali Nejad, who authorities dubbed the "Pantyhose Rapist."
Nejad was convicted in 2005 for raping two women in separate
assaults and he was suspected in several others.
But an appeals court reversed his conviction and 35-year prison sentence in 2009 on grounds that he had received "ineffective assistance of counsel."
The Georgia Supreme Court's ruling found that the trial court followed proper procedure and that the appeals court erred in making its ruling.
