Remember, in the late 70s, the Supreme Court struck down all existing death sentences and commuted them to life. The statutes were then rewritten in most states, offenders tried from that point forward were eligible for the death penalty again.
Dude shouldn’t have rolled the dice with a new trial.

"He was executed for killing convenience store clerk Clayton Chandler on September 22, 1975." To put that in perspective, Septmeber 22, 1975 was also the day Sara Jane Moore tried to assasinate Gerald Ford.
