A man accused of killing nine people at a Buddhist temple near Phoenix as a juvenile will have the federal courts reconsider his overturned conviction.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered the lower courts to re-examine the thrown-out murder conviction of Johnathan Doody.

Doody was convicted for the slayings of six priests, a nun and two helpers during a robbery at the Wat Promkunaram temple west of Phoenix.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals threw out the conviction, saying his Miranda warnings were inadequate. But the Supreme Court justices noted their February decision saying police only have to ensure that the Miranda warnings they read reasonably communicate to a suspect his rights.
