Dissent
dissenting.
Adhering to our views that the death penalty is in all circumstances cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the [*961] Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U. S. 153, 227, 231 (1976), we would grant certiorari and vacate the death sentences in these cases.
