Marinello, who seeks a new trial and his immediate release from prison, is not expected to attend the hearing. But in two briefs he filed since June to supplement those filed by Roach, he rebuts allegations made during the trial that he killed his wife to silence her claims that he was a bigamist.

Most issues raised in the appeal allege Regan erred in rejecting pretrial arguments by Marinello's trial defense team. Among them was Regan's refusal to remove the Jefferson Parish district attorney's office from the case because of its involvement with the radio show host before the homicide, when he accused his wife of domestic abuse that eventually landed her in jail.

The appeal also alleges Regan erred in rejecting the defense attorneys' contention that a detective improperly sought a specific judge to sign search warrants, allowing officers to scour the FEMA trailer in Lakeview he occupied as his marriage was coming to an end. It was through one of those warrants that a detective found the 14-point murder checklist that prosecutors said Marinello wrote in planning his wife's murder. As he did in his trial, Marinello says in the appeal he wrote the list after the homicide, knowing he was a suspect and planning to address the issue with his friend, then-Sheriff Harry Lee.

Clark, of the district attorney's office, said Marinello's testimony confirmed "key pieces of prosecution evidence," including that he wrote the checklist. "Otherwise, his testimony was self-serving, riddled with convenient recollections (and) memory lapses and riddled with contradictions and logical inconsistencies," Clark wrote.

Roach wrote that Marinello was unfairly prejudiced by bigamy allegations -- his divorce to his second wife had not become final until days after he married Liz Marinello -- or that he committed fraud in applying for FEMA aid and an employee assistance fund after Hurricane Katrina to rebuild a home he no longer owned. In raising the allegations, prosecutors merely attempted to paint Marinello as a man "of bad character," and none of it proved Marinello killed his wife, Roach wrote.

Clark responded that if the appeals court judges find that some of evidence was improper, the error would be harmless in light of the "overwhelming evidence" of Marinello's guilt.
