    Richard Galvan Montiel - California Death Row


    Richard Galvan Montiel


    Facts of the Crime:

    Gregorio Ante, 78, was the patriarch of a large extended family when he was murdered in his own home in east Bakersfield on January 13, 1979. The father and grandfather used a cane and a walker to get around. "This was a deliberate, brutal killing of a helpless old man, committed for financial gain," then Superior Court Judge Marvin E. Ferguson told Richard Galvan Montiel before sentencing him to death for the second time in 1986. He had first been sentenced to death in Kern County on November 20, 1979.

    The California Supreme Court upheld Montiel's death penalty in 1993 and denied habeas corpus in 1996. His first federal appeal has been pending since 1996 before the U.S. District Court in Fresno.

    The Ninth Circuit has denied Montiel’s appeal and affirmed the district court’s denial of his habeas petition.

    COAs on his IEC and Atkins claims were also denied.
