Coleman v. Sentence Review Division of Supreme Court of Montana.

Sup. Ct. Mont. Stay of execution of sentence of death heretofore granted by Justice Marshall on August 27, 1980, vacated. Certiorari denied.

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 certiorari and vacate the death sentence in this case.
