Sup. Ct. Ill. Certiorari denied. Reported below: No. 87-6233, 827 F. 2d 1006 ; No. 87-6869, 741 S. W. 2d 771 ; No. 87-6905, 119 Ill. 2d 69 , 518 N. E. 2d 82 .

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 sentences in these cases.
