Supreme court hears new pleas on death penalties by Barry schwe1d a associated Preas writer Washington apr the supreme court heard a renewed plea today for major changes in the Way the death sentence is imposed in. The United states. Lawyers for two condemned slayers argued that juries should be stripped of their Quot absolute discretion Quot to decide which guilty men should die Ana which should get jail terms. The three hour hearing was a replay of argument before the court Over the last two years that led to no decision. In the meantime the number of men and women on death Row has grown to More than 550�?most of whom have a life or death interest in. The. Outcome. The two prisoners whose appeals Are before the court Are Dennis c. Mcgautha of Loa Angeles and James e. Crampton of Toledo Ohio. Chamption was convicted of killing his wife Mcgautha of killing a grocer. Mcgautha a lawyer Herman f. Selvin of Beverly Hills calif., argued. California Law provides no standards or for the jury to determine whether to impose the death penalty or a life sentence. W Crampton a lawyer John j. Callahan of Toledo argues similarly regarding death penalty jurors in Ohio. Should the court agree All but a handful of the current death sentences could be upset and state Legislatures required to Lay Down specific guidelines for future juries. The prisoners spared by such a. Ring presumably would he re sentenced. Callahan also argued that the trial should be spit up As it is in California. Texas. Georgia Connecticut Pennsylvania and new York. This would alow a defendant to plead for mercy without waving his fifth amendment guarantee against set incrimination. In a single stage trial the lawyer said a defendant who pleads for mercy appears to jurors to be confessing his guilt and is Apt to be convicted. He also leaves himself open to Cross examination. If the de r Pendant does not plead for mercy Callahan said he risks receiving the death penalty. Arguing against any changes were the states of California and Ohio and importantly the . Government.
