Check Treatment

Lead Opinion

Sup. Ct. Ala. Motion of petitioner to withdraw petition and certiorari denied.





Dissenting Opinion

Mr. Justice Brennan and Mr. Justice Marshall,

dissenting.

Adhering to our views that the death penalty is in all circumstances cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U. S. 153, 227, 231 (1976), we would grant certiorari and vacate the death, sentence in this case.
