Lawyers Say Childhood Abuse Proves Killer's Mental Illness

DENVER, 10:39 p.m. MST February 15, 2001 -- Convicted killer Donta Page will not get a new trial.

A judge denied an appeal by Page's attorney to consider new evidence on Thursday.

Page was convicted of first-degree murder last November for the rape and murder of Peyton Tuthill, 24.

A sentencing hearing for Page is scheduled for next week. He could face the death penalty.

Paie's lawyers wanted a new trial because they discovered new medical documents that they say prove Page is mentally ill because of childhood physical abuse.
