The Third Circuit Court of Appeal has backed a lower court's conviction of the former New Orleans broadcaster. 
The Third Circuit Court of Appeal has backed a lower court's conviction of Vince Marinello. The former New Orleans sports broadcaster was convicted in Lafayette - the trail was moved out of the New Orleans area due to heavy media coverage and the need for an unprejudiced jury - in December 2008 in connection with the August 2006 shooting death of his estranged wife, Liz Marinello, who was shot twice in the face by an disguised assailant who escaped on a bicycle.
