Heishman v. California.

Sup. Ct. Cal. 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, 331 (1976), we would grant certiorari and vacate the death sentences in these cases.
