Roeder v. Texas.

Ct. Crim. App. Tex. Certio-rari 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 judgment below so that the court below can determine the sentence, other than death, that may be appropriate.
