Convict, 72, may die
before death sentence
United Press International
PRICE, Utah — The attorney fora
72-year-old convicted murderer said
her client’s health is so poor that he
might die before his death sentence
can be carried out.
Marilynn Lema, attorney for He-
ber Norton, said she would take the
case to the Utah Supreme Court.
On Friday, District Court Judge
Boyd Bunnell ordered Norton — in
and out of prison for more than 20
years of his life — shot at sunrise
March 24. The judge also told Nor
ton to pay $1,500 in legal costs.
During a penalty hearing last
week Lema told the court Norton
could die of poor health before the
sentence can be carried out. She said
Norton has a heart condition and
other health problems that could kill
him before appeals are exhausted.
The jury heard three hours of tes
timony during the penalty hearing
and deliberated for one hour before
returning the death sentence. Nor- *
ton also was sentenced to l-to-15
years in prison for a bank robbery
conviction.
The jury found Norton guilty on
two counts of first-degree murder
and one count of aggravated robbery
in the Feb. 23, 1979, holdup of
Zion’s First National Bank in Hunt
ington. Two tellers were shot to
death during the robbery.
Norton and an accomplice were
arrested later at a roadblock near
Price.
Under Utah law, Norton was
given a choice of death by hanging or
firing squad.
“I might as well be shot,” Norton
said.

said some of the killings and mutila
tions were racially oriented and
others were the result of reprisals
against inmate informants.
“They had snitch riots and they
had race riots,” Moberly said.
In the first hours of the takeover,
walkie-talkie transmissions picked
up by officials on the outside hinted
of what was happening inside.
One Mexican-American prisoner
issued a threat in one transmission.
“You tell those people out there
that we’re going to start killing some
of the niggers,” he said. “They killed
our brothers and we’ve got 16 dead
Mexicans, two white boys and the
rest are going to be niggers.”
Moberly said prisoners who sur
vived the carnage were being sepa
rated on the 12-acre prison grounds
by race and ethnic background. He
also said those innocent of involve
ment were kept separated from
those who surrendered when police
broke down the barricades at midday

The rioting prisoners looted pris

burned out all five cellblocks and
ganged up on suspected informers —
many of whom died with slashed
throats and battered heads.
Alfred Ortiz, a National Guard
