Supreme Court denies appeal
‘Candyman’ still seeking reprieve
United Press International
AUSTIN — The U.S. Su
preme court Monday rejected
an appeal from death row in
mate Ronald Clark O’Bryan,
leaving his attorneys to seek a
reprieve from the Texas Board
of Pardons and Paroles and
Gov. Mark White.
The six parole board mem
bers voted unanimously to
grant O’Bryan a hearing on his
request for a 90-day reprieve
just moments after they were
informed his appeal to the Su
preme Court had been denied.
O’Bryan is scheduled to be
executed early Saturday.
The six-member board set
the hearing for 10 a.m. Tues
day and said it would hear argu
ments from O’Bryan’s attorneys
and lawyers for the state.
Earlier, the Supreme Court
justices voted 7-2 to reject argu
ments that prosecutors at
O’Bryan’s trial illegally excused
potential jurors if they were op
posed to capital punishment.
Justice William Brennan and
Thurgood Marshall dissented
from the refusal to halt the exe
cution and review O’Bryan’s
case, voting as they always do
that capital punishment is cruel
and unusual punishment.
Charlotte Harris, a Houston
attorney representing O’Bryan,
said that at the hearing before
the parole officials she would
argue again that jurors were il
legally excluded from sitting on
O’Bryan’sjury.
She said two cases that dealt
with similar questions of jury se
lection were currently pending
before the U.S. Supreme Court
and that O’Bryan’s execution
should be delayed until those
cases were decided.
She also said she had con
tacted White’s office in hopes
the governor would exercise his
power to grant a 30-day stay of
execution.
O’Bryan, a 39-year-old for
mer optician was convicted of
the 1974 Halloween night mur
der of his son, Timothy, who
died after eating a piece of
candy laced with cyanide, a
deadly poison.
Justice Byron White, without
comment, had rejected an
emergency request for a stay of
the execution date on March
19, but O’Bryan filed a request
with the full court to hear his
appeal.
The court has rejected a
number of other requests to
hear his case, most recently on
Jan. 23 when it refused to re
view the same argument it re
jected Monday.
Evidence at his trial showed
O’Bryan had taken out a
$60,000 life insurance policy on
his 8-year-old son before the
poisoning, and prosecutors said
he killed the boy to collect the
money.
