Williams v. Kemp, Warden.

C. A. 11th Cir. Motion of petitioner to defer consideration of the petition for writ of certiorari denied. Certiorari dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

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.
