Appeal sags in Gacy case in Chicago
Prosecutor William J. Kunkle says Gacy defense attorneys are delaying by filing appeal briefs for the Illinois Supreme Court. Gacy, convicted in 1980 of 33 killings, faces automatic high court review and has been on death row at Menard. Defense will ask for extension as the case features a 10,000 page transcript and complex capital punishment issues.
