Ms. Allen was convicted of the first-degree murder and kidnapping of Wenda Wright, who was strangled to death in 2005. The jury voted 12-0 to recommend a death sentence, and the trial court condemned her to death. This Court upheld the sentence on direct appeal and Ms. Allen filed a post-conviction challenge in trial court. It was denied and this appeal followed.
