    Rodney Berryman, Sr. - California Death Row


    Florence Hildreth


    Rodney Berryman, Sr.


    Facts of the Crime:

    On September 6, 1987, Delano High School student Florence "Meme" Hildreth was 17 and lived with her mother when she was raped and murdered by Rodney Berryman. Her death ended what seemed a hopeful and promising future. She was vice president of the Black Student Union, competed in track and was training to become a medical receptionist. She was survived by a large family.

    Berryman was sentenced to death in Kern County on November 28, 1988.

    Berryman's panel will be made up of Judges (you guessed it) Reinhardt (Carter), Kozinski (Reagan) and Christen (Obama). Gee, I wonder how this one's going to turn out.

    Reinhardt is Carter's only active judge that remains, and that's inclusive of all district and appeals court judges. He's been on the court for 37 YEARS, so it's time for him to retire and join the rest of the Carter geriatrics.

    Is this the same appeal that they are hearing again or has Berryman got two different appeals?
