In re: Welcome, Herbert; Applying for Stay of Execution, Supervisory Writs and Writ of Habeas Corpus; Parish of Iberia 16th Judicial District Court Div. “C” Number 57,900

Denied.

would grant the stay of execution and the writ. This 26 year old illiterate retarded black with a mental age of 8 killed a white man in a family-type fight, and his auntie. The insanity instruction could have been misunderstood by the sentencing jury in a way that kept them from considering his mental impairment when deciding that he had the intent to kill more than one person.
