    Jesse James Andrews - California




    Facts of the Crime:

    On the evening of December 9, 1979, police were summoned to the Los Angeles apartment of Preston Wheeler. There they found the bodies of Wheeler, Patrice Brandon and Ronald Chism. Wheeler had been stabbed in the chest six times and shot in the neck at close range with either a .32- or .357-caliber weapon. His face and head were bruised, and his face had been slashed with a knife. Brandon and Chism had been strangled with wire coat hangers. Their faces were bruised, Chism’s extensively. Brandon’s anus was extremely dilated, bruised, reddened and torn, consistent with the insertion of a penis shortly before her death. There was also redness around the opening of her vagina, and vaginal samples revealed the presence of semen and spermatozoa. All three victims were bound hand and foot.

    Andrews was sentenced to death in Los Angeles County on June 8, 1984.

    On August 31, 2009, Andrews filed an appeal before the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit over the denial of his habeas petition (as to guilt) in Federal District Court.

    On January 12, 2015, oral argument will be heard before the Ninth Circuit in Jesse James Andrews' appeal of the denial of his habeas corpus petition challenging his conviction and capital sentence, while the state of California will cross-appeal the grant of relief as to the death sentence. The panel will be made up of Judges Ikuta (G.W. Bush), N.R. Smith (G.W. Bush) and Murguia (Obama).

    JESSE JAMES ANDREWS v RON DAVIS Acting Warden

    In today's opinions, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals DENIED Andrews a COA, and reversed the district court's ruling GRANTING Andrews' claim on ineffective assistance of counsel.

    I suppose this is a positive step by the 9th Circuit denying this death sentence appeal 36 years after the crime. But, will it ever get carried out?

    In today's opinions, by a two-to-one vote, the Ninth Circuit again DENIED Andrews' habeas petition. Judges Ikuta (G.W. Bush) and N.R. Smith (G.W. Bush) voted to deny, while Judge Murguia (Obama) dissented.
