Opinion of the Court

C. A. 11th Cir. Application for stay of execution of sentence of death, presented to Justice Powell, and by him referred to the Court, denied. Certiorari denied.

Dissenting Opinion

Justice Brennan and Justice Marshall,

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 the petition for writ of certiorari, and would vacate the death sentence in this case.
