Death Cell Author Wins New Delay From High Court
The Supreme Court granted a hearing for Caryl Chessman, Los Angeles sex offender and author of Cell 2455 Death Row, who has fought to avoid execution since his 1948 conviction for kidnapping and related charges. The case centers on due process and the trial transcript, with a May 13 argument to determine if state proceedings denied him due process under the U.S. Constitution. Chessman, a self taught law student, has long contested the trial record as spurious and previously faced eight Supreme Court rejections of pleas for new trials. He was sentenced to death under California’s Little Lindbergh Law for kidnapping with bodily harm, plus attempted rape and other offenses. Prosecutors oppose the habeas petition, while Chessman remains at San Quentin.
