CONCORD (AP) - The lawyers for a man convicted of shooting and killing a Manchester, N.H., police officer are challenging Michael Addison's armed robbery conviction.
Addison was sentenced to death for killing Manchester Police Officer Michael Briggs in 2006, as Briggs was attempting to arrest him on armed robbery charges.
Addison was convicted of robbing a Hudson convenience store days before the shooting.
WMUR-TV (http://bit.ly/Tq0M7x ) reports that on Monday his lawyers challenged whether the same judge was allowed to preside over both the robbery and capital murder trials.
Earlier this month, Addison's lawyers raised 22 issues on appeal in the death penalty case.
