The man convicted of killing 12-year-old Amber Harris will not get a new trial.

A judge has declined the request from Roy Ellis. Ellis' attorneys claimed prosecutors didn't release all the details of an agreement they had with a jailhouse informant who testified against Ellis. The informant told the court he heard Ellis talk about raping and killing Amber Harris.

Ellis has not yet been sentenced for the murder. Jurors who convicted Ellis found him eligible for the death penalty. The final decision on the sentence will be made by a three judge panel.
