Convicted Killer Denied New Trial

• {Charleston, West Virginia}...In 2008, Desmond Clark chased his girlfriend, Nalisha Gravely, through the Taco Bell on Charleston's West Side, through a crowd of customers and into a storage closet where he shot her at point-blank range. Clark took a plea deal and was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. In March, Clark took the stand asking the judge for a new trial, claiming he made a mistake brought on by lots of alcohol and prescription medication. Friday, Kanawha County Circuit Judge James Stucky denied Clark's motion for a new trial.
