- SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
- --------
- No. A-308
- --------
- FRANK J. GUINAN v. PAUL DELO, SUPERINTEN-
- DENT, POTOSI CORRECTIONAL CENTER
- on application for stay of execution of sentence
- of death
- [October 5, 1993]
-
- The application for stay of execution of sentence of
- death presented to Justice Blackmun and by him
- referred to the Court is denied.
- Justice Ginsburg, concurring.
- I concur in the Court's denial of a stay of execution.
- I do so based upon the conclusions of the Court of
- Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, reached after careful
- review of Guinan's very recent submissions. As described
- by the Eighth Circuit panel, those submissions, presented
- eleven years after Guinan's trial, consist of statements
- -inconsistent with previous sworn testimony of the same
- witness, in some cases inconsistent with each other,
- inconsistent with the great bulk of evidence adduced at
- Guinan's trial, . . . on occasion inconsistent with defenses
- Guinan previously has asserted, . . . [and in some cases]
- not new at all.- Guinan v. Delo, No. 93-3394 (CA8, Oct.
- 4, 1993), p. 3.
- Justice Blackmun would grant the application for stay
- of execution.
