The Michigan Daily-Tuesday, October 20, 1981-Page 5 Court to hear death penalty case WASHINGTON (UPI) - The Supreme Court agreed yesterday to decide whether a man can be executed for murder when it was his accomplice who actually pulled the trigger. The case poses a significant test of whether capital punishment can be imposed for felony murder, in which a person is held responsible for a killing that occurs during commission of another crime. THE JUSTICES WILL hear the appeal of Earl Eninend, sentenced to die in Florida's electric chair for the April, 1975, robbery and shooting deaths of an elderly couple. Enmend contends his death sentence violates the Constitution's ban against "cruel and unusual punishment" because his only participation in the crime was to drive the getaway car.

CRANSTON called Watt a "puppet of the exploiters and destroyers" who is pursuing reckless and irresponsible policies in managing the nation's natural resources. "I say .

"I feared the worst then and even worse things have happened than I anticipated since James Watt became secretary of interior." O'Neill congratulated the groups, predicting their voices would be heard in Congress and the White House. After delivering their petitions, tied with red ribbon into bundles conspicuously marked by their states, the state en- vironmental leaders split into groups to lobby their congressional delegations for Watt's ouster.

Howe replied that ultimately the University Regents would direct the policy of the corporation, but its board of directors would apply immediate control of MRC. Psychology Prof. Donald Brown said he wondered if the establishment of the MRC would become another place to which University faculty could defect. #, %L Extended by popular demand! aslowD as pIN $4.99 - Buy two dinners and save... with these coupons!
