George has maintained his innocence in Barbara George's shooting death at their Clinton Township shop, Comics World.

He was convicted in 2008, but won a second trial after a judge found errors by prosecutors and potential new evidence emerged. He was found guilty again in October.

George could still appeal to the Michigan Supreme Court.
