Chessman Wins Fourth Reprieve in Six Years
Cary Chessman, a convicted sex offender and author, received a new stay of execution from California's Supreme Court justices less than a day before his planned lethal gas death. Two other condemned men, James Wolfe and Joseph Johansen, were set for execution at San Quentin at 10 a.m. local time. Attorney General Edmund G. Brown criticized the delays as a mockery of justice and urged postponement for the others to allow potential U.S. Supreme Court review. Governor Knight maintained no legal basis to delay their sentences.
