State High Court Stays Gas Chamber Executions
The California State Supreme Court granted a stay of execution to three men set for Wednesday in the San Quentin gas chamber. Joseph Rosato, 39, John Viahovich, and Don Franklin, 33, faced a murder conspiracy conviction tied to the killing of Simpson to bar his testimony. The court ordered the state to respond in writing by Aug. 23. Attorneys argued the convictions relied on key witness Michael Rosato and the theory that Ralph Wesley Johnson, never charged, actually committed the murder. The stay followed clemency actions and prior Supreme Court stays after Gov. Brown and Acting Gov. Anderson faced calls to reconsider.
