Summary of Offense:
On March 16, 2002, Marvin Gabrion was sentenced to death for the 1997 murder of Rachel Timmerman in Michigan's Manistee National Forest. Although Michigan does not have the death penalty, Gabrion was sentenced under the federal system because the victim was killed on federal property. Gabrion's case marks the first federal death sentence imposed on a defendant in a state that does not have the death penalty since the federal death penalty was reinstated.
