SCOTUS1985Check TreatmentApplication for stay of execution of sentence of death scheduled for Tuesday, June 25, 1985, presented to Justice White, and by him referred to the Court, denied.
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 the application for stay and a petition for writ of certiorari and would vacate the death sentence in this case.
