Reprieve Granted in Duffield Execution Case
Federal Judge stays Loren Duffield’s planned electric chair execution in Norfolk slaying of 14 year old Gwendolyn Padgett after Rev. Robert Wind delivered Duffield’s clemency letter to Gov. Harrison and a three judge Virginia Supreme Court panel declined relief. Duffield, 23, was convicted of first degree murder in March 1963. The stay follows Wind’s efforts and the judge’s view that Duffield’s letter serves as a habeas corpus request. The governor had previously delayed the March date.
