"Appeals court bars death penalty for Las Vegas killer"

ADVERTISEMENTS
"Appeals court bars death penalty for Las Vegas killer": The Las Vegas Sun has a report that begins, "In a 2-1 decision, a federal appeals court has ruled that Las Vegas killer James Harrison cannot receive the death penalty as punishment for his fatal 2002 stabbing of a Las Vegas driving instructor."

You can access yesterday's ruling of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit at this link. Circuit Judge Stephen Reinhardt wrote the majority opinion, in which Senior Circuit Judge Procter Hug, Jr. joined. Circuit Judge Barry G. Silverman issued a dissenting opinion. This is unlikely to be the last that we hear of this case, as the prosecution can still seek rehearing en banc and, if necessary, U.S. Supreme Court review.

By the way, a profile of Judge Silverman that appeared in the August 31, 2007 issue of The East Valley Tribune is headlined "Federal judge's humor just one key asset."
