The notorious Dean Carter is on deck to join the ranks of exceptionally vicious murderers spared from their full punishment by Cal. Gov. Newsom's misuse of the reprieve power. A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit today affirmed the rejection of his collateral attack on his convictions and sentences in two counties for four murders and three rapes, aggravated by two other rapes and another murder.
This is the last review Carter is entitled to. He can ask for further review by an eleven-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit and then the Supreme Court, but it is unlikely either will be granted.
