by Richard C. Dieter, Esq.
Executive Director, Death Penalty Information Center
June 1998

In 1986 Gary was convicted and sentenced to death for three murders despite no physical evidence that tied him to the crimes. Last week a federal judge upheld his conviction despite new evidence that casts doubt on his conviction. David Rose examines Gary's case in his new book "The Big Eddy Club: The Stocking Stranglings and Southern Justice."RECENT HISTORY OF THE CASE

With no physical evidence or murder weapon, the prosecution's case rested entirely on witness testimony.
