99 S. Ct. 2418

Brennan, Certiorari, Set

Opinion of the Court

Sup. Ct. Ga. Certio-rari denied.

Mr. Justice Marshall would grant certiorari and set the case for oral argument.

Dissenting Opinion

Mr. 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.
