Lam Luong v. State

After Remand from the Alabama Supreme Court

In 2009, Lam Luong was convicted of five counts of murder made capital because he killed his four children, all under the age of 14 years, by one act or pursuant to one scheme or course of conduct, see § 13A-5-40(a)(15) and § 13A-5-40(a)(10), Ala.Code 1975.
