But Powell said death-sentencing
decisions made by judges or juries
are based on too many varying fac
tors to let discriminatory intent be
proved by statistics.
The ruling upheld the death sen
tence given Warren McCleskey, who
is black, for the 1978 murder ol a
white Atlanta policeman.
McCleskey’s hopes to avoid death
had been pinned on a statistical
study by a University of Iowa law
professor, David Baldus.
In his study, Baldus examined ev
ery Georgia murder conviction from
1973 to 1978 and found that those
who killed whites were 1 1 times
more likely to receive the death pen
alty than were those who killed
blacks.

Fugitive surrende
following intervia
on live El Paso TV
EL PASO (AP) — A television sta
tion rebroadcast on Wednesday a
live interview with a fugitive who
surrendered to police after being al
lowed to appear on television the
previous night.
Erich Beit/el, 24, called KVIA-TV
Tuesday night and asked for a live
interview, agreeing to surrender to
police afterward. While on the air,
he accused his wife, Michelle Beitzel,
22, of having an affair with a Silver
City, N.M., police officer, whom he
named.
He also said El Paso police were
persecuting him because the Silver
City officer had friends in the de
partment.
El Paso police spokesman Lt. J R.
Grijalva said Wednesday the accusa
tion is totally unfounded.
After the live interview, KVIA
newscasters told viewers Beitzel had
only expressed his own opinions, not
those of the station.
Cary Warner, a KVIA news
anchor and executive producer,
made the decision to put Beitzel on
live, said news director Dan Krieger,
who called Warner an experienced
journalist.
“We disclaimed it as quickly as we
could afterward,” Krieger said
Wednesday. “1 think he (Warner)
made a good decision.”
Warner said he was aware that
Beitzel was making allegations of his
wife having an affair, but he did not
know what Beitzel was going to talk
about in the live interview.
