Spence v. Texas

Dissenting Opinion

Justice Marshall,

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, 231 (1976), I would grant certiorari and vacate the death sentences in these cases.

Opinion of the Court

Ct. Crim. App. Tex.; and Ct. Crim. App. Tex. Certiorari denied.
