    Sean Bernard Runningeagle - Arizona Death Row

    071847.jpg

    Source


    Facts of the Crime:

    At about 6:00 a.m. on December 6, 1987, Runningeagle, Corey Tilden and Orva Antone were burglarizing the Robert Davis residence in Phoenix. Davis' neighbor, 72-year-old Herbert Williams, came outside and told the men to leave or he would call the police.

    Runningeagle began to tease and threaten Mr. Williams with a large hunting knife. Mr. Williams' wife, Jacqueline, then came outside and began yelling. Tilden hit Mrs. Williams over the head with a large flashlight. Runningeagle and Tilden then forced their way into the Williams' home and beat and stabbed them both to death. Mr. Williams was stabbed five times in the chest, arm, pelvis and back. Mrs. Williams was stabbed four times in the chest and abdomen and her throat was cut.

    Runningeagle and Tilden were tried jointly. Antone pled guilty to second-degree burglary and testified against Runningeagle and Tilden. Runningeagle and Tilden were both convicted of two counts of first-degree murder. Tilden received two life sentences.

    Runningeagle was sentenced to death on February 3, 1989.

    RUNNING EAGLE V. SCHRIRO

    In today's Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals opinions, the court AFFIRMED the district's court denial of Running Eagle's federal petition for a writ of habeas corpus.

    Will AZ ask for an X date or wait until it is denied at SCOTUS?

    Arizona will wait. Running Eagle will probably ask that his appeal be heard en banc.

    BTW: His name is Runningeagle, not Running Eagle ;-)

    I saw it spelled a couple of different ways!

    Regardless of the spelling I don't think he's going to be "running" anywhere anytime soon!

    His case was distributed for conference by the US Supreme Court on March 15th but, apparently, no decision has been reached yet on whether to grant his certiorari petition.

    In today's United States Supreme Court orders, Runningeagle's petition for writ of certiorari was DENIED.
