Chessman Prepares New Fight for Life
Chessman, the condemned "red light bandit of Los Angeles," plans another round in court after the U S Supreme Court refused to hear his appeal for a new trial. He is 38 and has faced death since 1948, with clemency denied by Gov. Brown and new petitions deemed unlikely by officials. He remains defiant, saying he does not want to die or live like a vegetable.
