Father of Kenny Clark loses chance to leave prison

The father of Green Bay Packers defensive tackle Kenny Clark, in prison the past 12 years for murder, lost his latest and perhaps best chance to overturn a murder conviction that sent him away for 55 years to life, without the possibility of parole.

A federal district judge issued a ruling that rejected Clark Sr.'s latest arguments. Among the reasons cited were that the eyewitnesses "waited 11 years to come forward, offered testimonies that were inconsistent ... and accused an individual who had no apparent motive to assault the victim."

The judge also pointed to the fact that the four witnesses had connections to Clark Sr.
