Lead Opinion

C. A. 5th Cir. Certiorari denied.

Dissent

Justice Brennan,

dissenting.

Adhering to my view 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 (1976), I would grant certiorari and vacate the death sentence in this case.

Dissent

Justice Marshall,

dissenting.

This is yet another capital case in which defense counsel failed to present any mitigation evidence whatsoever during the sentencing phase of a defendant’s trial. I believe that, except perhaps in the extraordinary case, counsel’s failure even to attempt to give the jury some reason for believing a defendant is not deserving of death denies defendant his Sixth Amendment right to the effective assistance of counsel. And I have yet to see that extraordinary case. I would grant the petition for certiorari and vacate the sentence.
