Clear & Convincing - Episode 20 - State of Tennessee v. Sedley Alley


Listen Later

On July 11, 1985, at approximately 10:30 p.m., USMC Lance Corporal Suzanne Marie Collins left her barracks for a run on NAS Millington.  By the time Corporal Collins finished work that day, the base gym was closed.  That night, Sedley Alley was drunk, driving around the base.  Corporal Collins’ encounter with Alley took a tragic turn when he kidnapped her, drover her off base and murdered her in a nearby state park.  Later the following morning, two Marines who had heard Corporal Collins screams identified Alley’s vehicle based on its Kentucky license plates and the sound of the vehicle.  Alley was arrested and indicted for capital murder, kidnapping and rape.  His attorneys sought mental health evaluations and raised an insanity defense based on multiple personality or dissociative identity disorder.  Alley was convicted after his trial in March, 1987 and sentenced to death.  Join Lisa O’Brien and Michael Carnahan tonight at 8:00 p.m. Central for a discussion of Corporal Collins’ life and death and Alley’s trial, direct appeal and initial state post-conviction claims.  We’re a live show and calls are always welcome at (347) 989-1171.
