Judge criticizes Georgia death penalty law in 3 cases
U S District Judge Newell Edenfield ruled in three Georgia capital cases that the death penalty statute fails to prevent arbitrary imposition. He set aside the Blake conviction and his death sentence for a 1975 child murder, overturned Moore and Burser death sentences, and urged retrials or release. The ruling notes the statute lacks real guidelines and could invite unjust outcomes. Also, Reagan proclaimed May as Older Americans Month urging support for seniors.
