Dissenting Opinion

Justice Blackmun,

dissenting.

Adhering to my view that the death penalty cannot be imposed fairly within the constraints of our Constitution, see my dissent in Collins v. Collins, ante, p. 1143,1 would grant the petitions for writs of certiorari and vacate the death sentences in these cases.
