Gilmore Spends Christmas Alone in Utah Prison
Gary Mark Gilmore, awaiting execution by firing squad on Jan. 17, spent a quiet Christmas in his maximum security cell in Salt Lake City without visitors or presents. His attorney said New Year’s also looks to pass quietly as officials bar gifts and allow only minimal contact. He was convicted of the July murder of Provo motel clerk Bennie Bushnell after a robbery and admitted ordering the man to lie on the floor before firing twice.
