(Sandy Huffaker/Associated Press)An abused and troubled California boy who, under police interrogation, confessed to killing his neo-Nazi father, lost in a bid to overturn his conviction. On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court decided it would not hear the case of Joseph Hall. The California attorney general’s office agreed, arguing in court records that Joseph told police he shot his father even without being asked. “The California court is just abjectly wrong about that,” he said. They said the Supreme Court, at some point, will have to tackle it.
