Supreme Court denies action in executions in two cases
The U S Supreme Court refused to review the murder and treason convictions of Oscar Collazo and Tomoya Kawakita, leaving their death sentences intact. Both are to be carried out by clemency only. Collazo participated in the Blair House assassination attempt of 1950. Kawakita, a Nisei, was convicted for treason over mistreatment of GIs at a Japanese POW camp. Kawakita may be the first U S citizen executed for treason alone if carried out.
