Bishop Execution Case Seeks Rehearing Refused by Court
NAACP Legal Defense Fund filed an appeal without Bishop’s permission seeking a rehearing with Justice Brennan who sent the issue to the full court. The court refused to stay the execution with Brennan dissenting. Justice Marshall was absent due to a wrist injury. Bishop, 46, of Garden Grove California, pleaded guilty to the December 1977 murder during a Las Vegas casino robbery. He refused extenuating circumstances at the penalty hearing and opposes all stays, saying they punish his family more than the gas chamber. He would accept commutation to life but will not plead for it. This would be the second U.S. execution this year after John Speakelink in Florida.

A trust fund would deliver half net income to low and moderate income Americans hit by higher fuel costs and up to $15 billion for mass transit.
