bgcolor=#EEEEEE colspan=3 valign=top | Breyer dissented from the Court's denial of a stay of execution, and denial of "certiorari" to a death row inmate who "is 76 years old, blind, suffers from diabetes, is confined to a wheelchair, and has been on death row for 23 years." Breyer believed "that in the circumstances he raises a significant question as to whether his execution would constitute cruel and unusual punishment."
