You have reviewed that file prior to this made available is 2 Gl aD wv file that was made available back in pretrial and trial perio A Yes, sir. Q All right. That specifically as i+ relates to representation of Warren MeCleskey, vour best~- pe A, Warren McCleskey and the other defendants. 0. All right. It's the same fils todav as it was in October of 19797 A, As far as I can determine. 0. Okay. Let me direct your attention just to the cover of that file and ask vou what those cuotations are that are written on the cover? A. Wall, I tried to make notes by day and time as to when defense attorneys looked at the file. Usually, I made those notes at the time they looked at it. I would say the notes are fairly accurate. If YT didn't put it down initially, then there may be some discrepancy. But I would say generally that's a falrly accurate log. 0. All right. Can we co off the record juss a second? (Discussion off the record.) BY MR, STROUP: 0. Let's go back on the record. We have agreed that-- counsel for the parties have agreed that we will copy an attach to the deposition the entire file including the covey sheet. The cover sheet that has vour handwriting on it, what is your best view as to how accurately it detalls the 1? | inspection of the file by defense counsel? A I see only one entry that doesn't appear to be my handwriting and that 1s, the entry thai Donnie Stein viewed the file on September 27, 1978 for approximately and hour and a half. I'm sure I gave this file to defense attorneys and asked them to make notations as to how long they had it; whether or not they gave me all the notations which I then would have put on the cover sheet, I don't know-- I don't 9 | know whose handwriting that is. Maybe it's Stein's, himself. 10 Q That's the 9-27-78 entry? 1 A Uh-huh, (Affirmative.) 12 Q 80 the record is clear, could you just identify 13 | the attorneys who were representing each of the defendants? 14 A Well, Donnie Stein represented Ben Wright; the 15 | public defender initially represented Burney and continued 16 | to represent him throughout the trial. An attorney by the 17 | name of Joe Galley came into the picture somewhere during 18 | the proceedings, also represented Burney. Dupree was represented 19 | by Mike Washington, George Lawson and Charles Hudson. All 3 20 | of them came by at various times. John Turner represented 21 | MeCleskey, 22 0 With respect to John Turner's reviewing the file, 23 | do you have any recollection of his viewing the file other 24 | than the dates that's indicated on the cover sheet? 25 A I note that John Turner reviewed the file on October 5¢h, 1978 for some 3 hours and fifteen minutes. He apparently used the file from October 9 through October 13 and throughout the trial. John Turner and I had discussed his client's involvement on other times. Whether or not he reviewed the file, I can't say. Q All right. Was it usual practice to record the date of defense counsel's reviewing of the file and the times? A IT ried to. I see there's actually two entries I didn't make. Both of them were dated September 27, 1978. One involved Stein, who represented Ben Wright. One represents Hudson who was one of the three lawvers representing Dupree. T'm sure there must have heen other instances where perhaps I didn't enter parts. 0 All right. Let me just ask you, directing your attention +o the 3 or 4 different statements that are in the file-- was there present at the time, was there present in the file at the time that John Turner reviewed the file a statement from Dan Oliver dated 5-13-78? A, Yes, sir. 0. All right. And was there similarly at the time of John Turner's inspection of the file a statement by Ben Leste] Tyson of 5-13-78? A Yes, sir. 0. Was there a statement in the file at the time John Turner reviewed the file, a statement from James Grier, w - La C—O 20 Junior of 5-13-73? A. Yes, sir. 0. Finally, wag there present in the file at the time that John Turner reviewed it a statement by Fenry Nelloms of maybe May 15, "78, as bast as I can read it? A. Yes, sir. Q Okay. Now, I want to direct vour attention to a statement from Offie Evans that was introduced at Warren McCleskev's trial and ask vou a few questions about that statement. How was it that vou came to learn that Offie Eavns might have some testimonv that von would want to lose in the Warren McCleskey trial? A, Ckay. When you referred to a statement, Offie Evans gave his statement but it was not introduced at the trial. It was part of that matter that was made in camera inspecticn by the 4udge prior to trial. 1) All right. Let me make clear what my question was, +hen. O0ffie Fvans did in fact give testimony at the triale- let me rephrase it. When Aid vou learn that Offie Fvans had testimony that vou might want to use at trial? A. T believe I was first notified by Detective Jowers or Detective Harris, homicide detectives, who apparently had been contacted by a deputy, C. XK. Hamilton. I don't recall at this point whether Jowers and Harris went out to the jail to talk to Offie and that involved me or whether they called me R T FL A over to the Atlanta Police Department and we talked to Evans there. I know I did talk to Evans and I did talk to him at the Atlanta Police Department. 0. Bow about Detective Dorsey? Do vou recall Detective Dorsey being involved at all? A Dorsey was involved in the investigation. At what point, I don't remember, 0. All right. How about specifically with respect to testimony of Offie Evans? Do you recall Dorsey having any role in developing the testimony of Fvans? A. At this point I don't know if Dorsey had any role in it. The only thing I remember really ls that Deputy Hamilton, Detective Jowers and Harris. (4) Did you, yourself; have any prior dealings with 0ffie Evans prior to his becoming involved in the Frank E&chla case? A No, sir, I didn't know Offie Evans prior to that ti Q Okay. Were you aware at the time of the trial of any understandings between Evans and any Atlanta police depar ment detectives regarding favorable recommendation to be made on his federal escape charge if he would cooperate with this matter? A. No, sir. 0. Let me ask the question another way to make sure we are clear. Are vou today aware of any understanding betwee! Bele Me » po J 10 any Atlanta police department detectives and Offie Evans? A No, sir, I'm not aware of any. I understood that ha was not prosecuted for the escape but I understand he was placed back in the federal penitentiary. 0 Okay. Did vou, vourself, after the Warren McCleskey trial, contact any FBI agents to discuss with them the matter of a pending escape charoe? A I have talked to several FRI agents about the case. Only one time did it involve 0Offie Fvans. And that was after all the trials were completed. And I believe it was in regard to segregating him in some way ont at the federal pen for his own protection. 0 Do you know who the FBI agent was who you spoke wid regarding Offlie Evans? A, I don't at this time. But I did write a letter to the warden in the federal pen. At least I wrote, drafted it for Mr, Slayton. Q 2ll right. Let me ask vou your recollection on the timing. Is it possible vou contacted an FBI agent regarding Offie Evans's escape charge prior to the trial of the co~ defendants Burney and Dupree? A I don't ‘know. I've got a letter dated November 20t 1978, when I wrote to the Warden at the United States Penitentiary in Atlanta. I believe that would ba after all trials had been completed. I recall difficulties having Offie h h, 11 Evans brought over to trial because he was a federal prisoner I believe the first time we brought him over, he was still in the Fulton County Jail, as I recall. [ may be wrong. We still had to use U, 8, Marshals, I recall the second time he was brought over, we still have to use U. &., Marshals. And I don't recall now whether he was still in Fulton County Jail or whether he was in the Federal Pen. But I believe I did have a conversation with the U. 5, Marshal's office and also with the FBI agents as to how to get him here. 0 All right. How about prior to the trial of the co- defendants? Do you have any recollection of a conversation bringing to the FBI's agent attention the fact that Evans had testified in Warren McCleskey's trial? A. Specifically, no. I think, however, when I wrote this letter to the warden, I think I told the FBI agent who gave me that name what Offie Evans had done, that is, that he had testified at both trials and what the results of those trials were. 0. All right. Let me just refresh your recollection, if it does-- let me show you a trial transcript. This is State of Georgia versus David Burney and Bernard Dupree, trial commencing November 13, 1978 at Atlanta. I direct your attention to a statement that vou made at page 271 of that transcript—- A, Okay. S I R SA R L ; B L U R A Y 6 Q That indicates that prior to the trial of the co-defendants and after MeCleskey's trial, vou did cor.tact an 2. I still don't know whether T contacted him or he contacted me. But evidently we had a conversation. 0 All right. Your statement as of the trial of Bernar Dupree and David Burney was that you contacted the agent; is that not correct, to determine if he was going +o continue to press charges for escape? 5 I say I have contacted. I still don't know whether I contacted the agent as +o how to get Offie Fvans +o testify or whether the agent called me. 1] Rll right. A, There was some question in nv mind as to how to get him over here the second time. 0 Your earlier statement made to the court was, I hav contacted the agent with the Federal Bureau of Investigation to determine if he is going to continue to press charges of escape: isn't that correct? A. That's what the transeript says, sir. 0. "I have not asked him to drop charges of escape but I believe he ig going to act on that information I have passed to him, that is, Mr, Evans did testify once before. And TI don't believe the fedaral charges of escape, the latest feder charges, will be processed against Mr. Dvans.® 8 [£4 ] m1 r s r m r r m — 24 25 iz Q That 1s correct, that is a correct statement of wha ie you said earlier? A, IL believe it is corrsct, sir. Q All right. You don't recall at that time who that FBY agent wag? A: No. I'm sure it was the agent that would have investigated primarily his charge of escape. Q. You do not have anv records that would indicate the name? A I probably have a yellow phone tab, personal file, with his name on it. Lo) Okay. A But I believe it's about this letter I wrote to Hanberry rather than relating to this conversation that you are asking abhout. 2 All right. I think that's all that I have other: than that I do want the record to clearly reflect that tha parties have agreed that we will copy the entire investigative file that was made available +o coungel-- A, All counsel. 0 All counsel including John Turner-- A, Right. Q And it will be attached to the deposition as Fxhibit 24 25 ME. DUMICH: That's fine. Are you through? MR. ETROUP: Yeah, that's all I have. REDIRECT EXAMINATION BY MR. DUMICH: 0. I just have a few questions, Mr. Parker, in regards to 0ffie Evans's testimony at trial, Mr. McClegkey's trial, was there any deal whatsoever made with Mr. Evans in exchange for his testimony at the trial? A I'm not aware of any. I don't know of any deal. Q What about at the Burney trial? Was there anything, was there any indication given by you to Mr. Evans prior to his testimony in the Burney trial that you would do anything for him or try to do, try to contact people for him to try and ses that his escape charce wasn't prosecuted or that he would get a reduction in sentence or anything alone those lines? A I have never asked anybody to drop a charge. I don' know of Offie ever asking anybody to try and get the charges dropped for him. I am not surprised that they are dropped. Cbviously the police officer was killed and the guy testified twice for the state. It doesn't surprise me in the least that the charges have been dropped. But the fact that the charge was dropped doesn't mean that he wasn't punished because he was put back in the federal pen. 0. Po you have any knowledge that Mr, Fvane was workin 2 d i n S d 24 25 ag an informant for the Atlanta Police or any police authorit] when he was placed in the Fulton County Jail and when he over] thease coversations of Mr. McCleskey? A. I don't know of any instance that Offie Evans had worked for the Atlanta Police Department as an informant prio; to his overhearing conversations at the Fulton County Jail. 0. ©: Do you recall whether Mr, Turner, Mr. John Turner, who represented Mr. McCleskey at the trial, had engaged in any plea negotiations with you during the course of the pretr: contacts with him prior to Mr. McCleskey's trial? 8 John Turner contacted me several times, both by telephone and in person-- as to the disposition of the case, T don't think at any time did he ever indicate to me that McCleskey wanted to plead guilty. In fact, the morning of trial, as I recall, John Turner asked for a short pretrial—- and went into the witness room. Of course, he wanted to know what the matters were at that time that the judge had made an in. camera inspection of. Of course, I told him X couldn't tell him; no sense in having an in camera inspection if I was going to do that. At that time I believe he told me that McCleskey wanted a trial, was adamant, would not plead guilty Q Okay. A we never discussed a plea. 0 Let me ask you this: Are you aware of why-- A. There were other things that went along with that. a J ial 1 0. Would you explain? 2 A McCleskey had given two statements, one in Marietta 3 | and Cobb County, one at the Atlanta Police Department. According 4 | to John Turner, McCleskey felt like he could stand on the one 5 | in Atlanta, I mean the one in Cobb County, claimed that the one 6 | in Atlanta was coerced. I'm sure those are statements that were 7 | given to John Turner that are not listed on this file cover. 8 | In other words, his client's statements~- I'm sure the other | 9 | attorneys representing thelr clients got copies of their 10 | clients' statements that are not listed on the file cover. So 11 | when I say they reviewed the files, there are other instances| 12 | where they have gotten information perhaps, autopsy, I'm sure 13 | they got portions of the crime lab reports. I'm sure they got 14 | copies of their clients’ statements. And that's one reason I 15 | was suggesting that if you are going to attach any part of the 16 | file, you ought to attach the whele thing because even the 17 | clerk's file, you'll see where the state filed a motion to gat samples of hair of all the defendants. We were trying to 19 | match up hair samples. So I'm sure they were aware of lab 20 | reports that had been prepared and why we were preparing the 21 | motion for hair samples, so when I say this cover sheet ig-- 22 | 1 don't think really shows the whole picture of the information 23 | that they had. 24 0 Okay. Let me ask you, are vou aware of why the 25 decision was made to seek the death penalty in this particular A Well, I'm not so sure I understand axactly what you are asking me. The cliecnt-~ John Turner said his client claimed % he wasn't guilty. IT don't think John Turner ever sald anything other than that. Everything I had indicated that MoCleskey was the person that killed Officer Schlatt, Q Did Mr. McCleskey's race have any influence on your decision to seek the death penalty in this case? A, Xo, sir. 0 What about the race of the victim, Officer Schlatt? Did that have any bearing on your decision to seek the death penalty? n, Ho, sir, 0 Earlier when you testified that vou may have contacted the FEI in regards to Offie Fvans's testimony in this case, was that in any way an attempt to aet favorable treatment or Mr, Cf{fie Evans in reoards to not being prosecuted? You may have covered that earlier. I just wanted to make sure we get that in the record. A I don't think I ever asked him to do anything; in fact, I'm sure I didn't. Like I say, I'm not surprised that he wasn't prosecuted. 0 Ckay. A I'm not shocked, in other words. 0, That's all I have. 18 | RECROSS EXAMINATION | 2 | BY MR. STROUP: 2 Q I just have a couple more. Would it surprise you * | that one of the Atlanta Police Department detectives who had been dealing with 0ffie Evans had made an agreement or come ; to an understanding with him to make a favorable recommendation 7 in exchange for his cooperation at the McCleskey and Burney~- tT B Dupree trialga? ; A T don't really see how anybody can promise anything, i I don't know of any. I'm not aware of any such agreement. I'm "| not aware of any such offer. | 2 0. Would it surprise vou to learn that that understanding 13 had been reached? | ! 3 A T don't know of any officer that would make that i premise but let me explain something eise to you. There is ie generally an FBI agent that follows the crimes in the Atlanta : 4 area that is a contact point with the Atlanta Police Department. T don't remember his name at this point. But I think we first i learned from him that Ben Wricht had been arrested out at | i Pine Bluff, Arkansas. I think he was pretty much in daily 2 contact with the FBI agent out there as to, was this the a Ben Wright we were looking for, was this the man we were looking 3 for, because obviously he was using another name. I have talked to the FBI agent. I have talked to him several times 2 during the time that the individual that was arrested out there, 19 whether or not he was Ben Wright. But we've never discussed Of fie Evans. I think it was probably common knowledge among the homicide officers or Detectives that 0ffie Evans had cooperated. C There was a close working relationship between the homicide detectives and the FBI? A Well, I don't know, What I'm saying is they've got a contact man. There's probably one that hance around down there to furnish them information and get information in return, homicide, armed robberies, motor vehicle thefts, burglaries, con artists. I don't know of any agreement, 0 T's fair to say that there would certainly be an opportunity for Atlanta police officers to put in a good word with the FBI agent in Offie Evans's behalf? A I'm sure. That's why I say,I don't suspect that anybody has put in any good word, but I'm not surprised that Offie Fvans was not prosecuted for his escape, You take an anta police officer, police officer anywhere that's been 1 killed, somebody ends up testifying for the state or for Ir the federal government, putting his life in danger, it doesn’ surprise me at all that that's the end result, 0 Prior to trial, did you take any steps at all to Ww determine whether or not any Atlanta Police detectives invelv i on the case had come to an understanding with Offie regarding A Offie Fvans was interviewed by Jowers and Harris R R R F R E on I N T E P R A A T R S O R R Y 20 ' | and myself at length one day. I don't know how many times we 2 | questioned him. But I don't think he ever told us that he 3 | ever expected anything. He never asked for anything. I don't * | know fof any promises or any requests that Qffie Fvans ever ° | made. 5 Q Let me also, just so we're clear on this, let me 7 | refer vou again to thie same transcript: this is State of |: 8 | ceorgia again versus David Burney, Junior and Bernard Dupree-t | g again, let me at this time direct you to O0ffie Bvans's testimony | 10 | a+ the bottom of 964 and 965. T think you were examining him | 11 | at that point in the record. Dees he not indicate that the | 12 | homicide detectives who came out and talked to him were Harris | 13 | and Doregey? 3 A. (¥ods head affirmatively.) 15 0 vou, yourself, were not involved in any meetings 16 | where Dorsey was present, along with yourself and Offle Fvans? 37 B. Yeah, I remember it was at the atlanta Police Department is with Parris and Jowers. Dorsay may very well have been in that. 9 11 don't remember Dorsey being thare. 28 0 Okay. 21 A As I remember, it was Harris and Jowers. 2 Q Lat me ask you one more question, and that relates z to your discussion of the cover gheet entries on the 2 investigative files that defense counsel vere 211 able to > inspect. You were indicating that there was some information } ad that defense counsel had cotten without an inspection of the file? A. Yes, sir. G. Hould defense counsel, in order to review the bulk of the witnesses' statements that are contained in here have had to come and read the investigative file? 3 Well, if they wanted to read my file, obviously they are going to have to come over and read it. I didn't give them coples of the statements except their clients’ statements. There was a preliminary hearing transcript, I don't know whether they had a copy of that now or not. But I do remember there was a preliminary hearing transcript. And I don't remember who all had copies of it. MR, STROUP: All that. That's all I have. MR. DUMICH: I don't have anything more, (Whereupon, the deposition was concluded.) ERT ITPRPICATY GEORGIA ) FULTON COUNTY ) I, Foster Corbin, Certified Court Reporter, certify that at the above-named deposition I did duly swear the witnes and that pages 1 through 21, inclusive, are a true and complete transcription of my stenographic notes taken at the deposition and that same was reduced to typewriting by me personally. 2] CURRICULUM VITAE Richard A.

Emphasis has been placed on basic "line level" functions. Administrative and Management Level functions which are relevant only to agency admini- strators have not been stressed in this document. Field personnel are urged to refer to the manual when questions as to policy or procedure a- rise. Changes to the Manual Field personnel are urged to make suggestions for additions or changes to the manual. When such changes occur they will be issued in the form of "Bulletins" labeled either "Administrative,' "Investigative" or '"Super- vision." Such bulletins should be considered as an extension of the manual and kept on file in each office. Minor "pen and ink" changes to the manual may be issued as appropriate.

In offices having two secretaries, lunch periods should be scheduled in a manner which would provide telephone coverage during the lunch period. Area Supervisor The Area Supervisor - in his administrative capacity - is responsible for all parole services within his designated area. These services, are under the au- spices of the Field Operations Division of the State Board of Pardons and Paroles. Chief Parole Officer 3 “=v The Chief Parole Officer is responsible for the administration and supervision of all parole field services within his assigned district. He supervises the work of parole officers and secretaries, assigns workloads and he is responsi- ble for general office procedures outlined in this manual. The Chief Parole Officer, in addition, performs investigatory and/or supervisory duties and makes sure the workloads are evenly distributed between himself and the other officers in his district. The Chief Officer is also responsible for insuring that all Board policies and procedures are implemented and practiced by personnel under his supervision. He will act as district office manager and assure that all office procedures conform to instructions issued by the Field Operations Division of the Board. Another equally important duty of the Chief Parole Officer is the training and supervis- ing of all new personnel assigned to the district. The Chief is responsible for public relations activities within his district and he is the chief liaison for the Board with probation officers, Superior and State Court Judges, district attorneys and other law enforcement personnel within his district. Furthermore, it will be his responsibility to plan work schedules with all personnel in his district in such a manner that travel and communication ex- penses will be kept at an absolute minimum. He will review and determine the validity of expense vouchers submitted by personnel under his supervision, and he will indicate his approval - should he find the expense a valid one - by sign- ing the voucher and forwarding it to the « -ea supervisor. ‘This officer is also responsible for insuring that the parole officers’ monthly production report and district production reports are submitted to the area supervisor each month. Parole Officer II The primary duty of the Parole Officer II is to supervise the more difficult offenders within the district and to conduct post-sentence and pre-parole in- vestigations. In some district offices, the Parole Officer II assumes the ad- minstrative responsibilities in the absence of the Chief Parole Officer. Ab Parole Officer II - Continued In a sub-office, the Parole Officer II handles many of the administrative duties of a Chief, and he is responsible for the efficient coordination of all parole services within the jurisdiction of the sub-office. The Parole Officer II may also be required to perform all or part of the duties listed below for Parole Officer I. 2.05 Parole Officer I The duties of the Parole Officer I are to conduct pre-parole investigations and/or provide supervision to an assigned caseload of offenders. These duties require all officers to spend a considerable amount of time traveling in the field, and , the responsibilities are such that the officers do not work on an hourly, daily or weekly basis. The duties are full-time and an officer's work schedule is determined by the priorities and requirements which are necessary for him to perform those duties properly. C Duties of a Parole Officer I consist of the following: ~ A. Provide supervision to an assigned caseload of parolees and youthful offenders. B. Maintain regular contact with the offenders through sched- uled interviews at the parole office and unscheduled Visits to the offender's home and place of business. C. Report any violations of the conditions of release to the Parole Board and make recommendations as to appropriate action needed as a result of the violations. D. Submit progress and conduct reports, transfer requests, and other reports relating to the supervision of an offender caseload. E. Interview inmates and conduct pre-parole investigations on inmates eligible for parole of youthful offender conditional release. The investigative process includes interviewing the inmate's family members, the inmate's previous employers, court officials, and law enforcement officials. 2.06 Institutional Parole Officer The primary duty of the Institutional Parole Officer is to interview inmates of the institution and prepare personal history statements on them. The In- stitutional Parole Officer must also act as a liaison representative of the Board in providing general information to the inmate population with reference to parole policies, regulations, and procedures. He must deal on an individual basis with the various problems of inmates in such a way as to minimize, as much as possible, inmates' direct correspondence with the Board. He shall be responsible for public relations artivities, and he must act as a representative of the Board in handling psychiatric examinations, vocational rehabilitation and . any other related services available at the institution. Aaduiiionaliy, the .-Institutional Parole Officer shall be responsible for the proper maintenance and operation of his office at the institution, insuring that all office pro- cedures conform with those instructions issued by the Board and the Administrative Staff. His office shall be kept open at least eight hours per day, five days per week. no «07 Dress Code and Other Requirements Due to the nature of their job, Parole Officers are in constant contact with the local courts, law enforcement, and other state and local governmental agencies. CHAPTER III Investigation 3.01 Background Information 1. The investigation referred to in this Chapter is the information- gathering process prior to parole consideration. The major part of this report basically answers the questions, "Who is the person?" The analytic evaluation phase deals with more complex questions such as, "What kind of person is he?"; "What factors contributed to his current difficulties?"; and perhaps most importantly, "Within the framework of the law, what is the best possible disposition which can be made of the case to insure that the dual goals of protection of society and rehabilitation of the offender are fulfilled?" 2. Under the 1943 Act, Code Section 77-512, the Board is charged with # the responsibility of obtaining information respecting persons subject ( to relief by the Board. "It shall be the duty of the Board to obtain = and place in its permanent records as complete information as may be practically available on every person who may become subject to any relief which may be within the power of the Board to grant. Such information shall be obtained as soon as possible after imposition of fhe sentence and shall include: A. A complete statement of the crime for which such person is sentenced, the circumstances of such crime, and the nature of such person's sentence. B. The Court in which such person was sentenced. g: C. The term of his sentence. D. The name of the presiding judge, the prosecuting officers, the investigating officers and the attorney for the persons convicted. Names of all co-defendants, and sentences imposed upon them. E. Copy of pre-sentence investigation and any previous court record. F. Fingerprint record. G. A copy of all probation reports available. GC H. Any social, physical, mental or criminal record of such person." Es 3. "The Board shall immediately examine such records and any other records. obtained and make such other investigations as they may deem necessary." Thus we find the authority set out by law for making a pre-parole investigatior The criminal justice process begins when a person is arrested and charged with committing a crime. After the.commission of a crime, the police must make an initial investigation. After the investigation, the process of arrest follows; this includes booking initial appearance, preliminary hearing, indictments, arraignment, trial and sentencing. 4. After the sentencing phase, the Clerk of Superior Court notifies the State Department of Offender Rehabilitation of the subject's conviction by sending to them a certifi~1 copy of the sentence, a copy of the indictments, and an Affadavit of Custodian which is prepared by the County Jail. The State Department of Offender Rehabilitation in curn notifies the State Board of Pardons and Paroles that the subject is now in their custody and informs the Board of the offense for which he was convicted, the date of his conviction and the length of his sentence. 3.02 Post Sentence Investigation The post-sentence investigation is generally regarded by the Board as the most important part of the pre-parole investigation. In this report, the Parole Officer is to advise the Board of the technical data concerning the conviction, the offender's prior record in the district, and the circumstances of the crime for which the offender was convicted. The importance of this report cannot be over-emphasized; and, where the offender has been convicted of crimes against the person, it is imperative that the Officer extract the exact circumstances surrounding the offense. Any aggravating or mitigating circumstances must be included in the report. The point to keep in mind is that the Board must have a clear picture of the crime as it is incumbent on the Board to make the final disposition on almost all cases sentenced by the Court. Although the Board considers many factors prior to rendering their decision on a case, information contained in the post-sentence investigation can be their sole reason for denying clemency. The procedure for conducting the post-sentence investigation is as follows: 1. The initial post-sentence request is forwarded by the Records Unit to the Parole Officer in the district where the subject was convicted. This request is known as a Post-Sentence Investigation Request and Work Sheet, Form #102b (Exhibit I-11). This form includes the name under which the subject was convicted, his assigned inmate number, which is given to him by the Department of Offender Rehabilitation, his consideration date, his aliases if any, his age, race and sex. 2. The post-sentence request also includes the offense for which the inmate is convicted, the date of conviction, the indictment number, the Court in which he was convicted, and the sentence that he received. This informs the investigator of the County in his district in which he must proceed to investigate the case. The investigator will proceed to this County and go to the Clerk of Court's Office to review the criminal docket, and obtain the indictment number (if not furnished in the request). Whether or not the offender was tried, entered a plea of guilty, not guilty, or nolo contendere, the offense for which he was convicted and the sentence he received should be shown. The investigator should also list the names of the judge, district attorney, defense attorney and co-defendants, if any, and the sentences the co-defendants received. 3. While at the Clerk of Court's Office, the investigator should check the criminal docket for previous convictions, and should any be found, he should list the offense(s), the date of conviction, the court and the sentence. He should trace this record back as far as the subject's fifteenth birthday. 4, After reviewing the original sentence signed by the judge and found in the Clerk of Court's Office, the investigator should look for any discrepancy between what is stated on post-sentence investigation request and what is actually contained in the sentencing record. If there is a discrepancy, he must immediately notify the Parole Board post-sentence clerk, furnishing ; her/him a copy of the-original sentence and pointing out the discrepancy. The investigator might even find that the subject has cu..cut senuccuces whic were not reported to her/him in the request received from the headquarter's office. These should be included in the report. 10. 3 - Should the Officer determine that the subject was arrested and indicted for other crimes during the same term of Court and the cases were dropped or nol prossed on a motion from the D.A., the Docket number, a statement as to why the case was nol prossed, and the circumstances of the offense should be included in post-sentences. Strong cases against an offender are frequently nol prossed by D.A.s when the offender agrees to enter pleas to the most serious charges through "plea-bargaining". Refer to sample copy of post-sentence contained in exhibits. Jail time - A copy of the Affadavit of Custodian, which is prepared by the County Jailer, will be attached to the warrant indictment and sentence order. . This form contains the number of days the inmate was in custody prior to date sentence was imposed. The Parole Officer should compare this information with the date the request for post-sentence reveals the sentence was computed from. If the inmate was on bond, on escape, or in a mental institution during part of this time, state these dates. If arrested and held in jail in another state in connection with the present offense, advise of the date in custody either in the other state or in Georgia. (If the inmate was arrested in another state on another charge, he will not receive credit on his Georgia case until the date the other state released him to our detainer.) To obtain information concerning other previous offenses and=outstanding detainers, the investigator should check the local police department and sheriff's office. Detainers - An outstanding detainer should be considered a warrant that is presently being held by the sheriff charging the subject with another offense, or an indictment that is pending in the Clerk of Court's Office. Juvenile Record - The investigator should contact the local juvenile authorities or court service workers in his district and ascertain if the subject has a juvenile record and if so, it should be included. Circumstances of the Offense - This should be obtained in narrative form; it should be taken from the indictment, the District Attorney's Office, the arresting officers, witnesses, and victim. A word picture, telling what happened, when, where,why, how and to whom, should be prepared. Other information to provide includes the date of arrest and dates in jail from time of arrest to date of conviction on present offense. If the subject is on bond, on escape or in a mental institution during part of this time, this should also be shown by giving appropriate dates. If offender was arrested and held in jail in another state in connection with this offense, the date in custody, either in the other state or in Georgia, should be given. If he was arrested on other charges, the date he was released on present ~harge must be shown. In the last parzgraph, advise where and/or from whom information was received regarding circumstances. Example: The above information was obtained from Detective John Smith, Homicide Division, Columbus Police Department, and from subject's file at the ‘olumbus Police Departmoant. 3.03 - Lis If the post-sentence is performed separately from the social investigation, any comments from judges, district attorneys or law enforcement officials should be placed in the post-sentence report. These comments should be placed in a separate section at the end : f the post-sentence and should be labeled "Comments of Local Officials." [his area is of particular interest to the Board, and Parole Officers should be careful to contact any officials who might wish to comment. This is especially important when the offender has committed serious crimes such as robbery, rape or murder. The Parole Officer should be as thorough as possible when conducting post- sentences on persons who have received life sentences, or sentences in excess of fifteen years. In cases where the arrest reports are incomplete the circumstances of the offense should be obtained as thoroughly as possible and the Parole Officer should review the transcript of the trial if available for detailed information. A personal interview with the arresting or investigatir officer is almost always a valuable source of information as the officer may recall important details and facts which were not revealed in the arrest report. Photographs of victims of assault and murder should be obtained when possible and attached to post-sentence. When photographs are obtained, they should be placed in a separate envelope and marked "Photographs of Victim." The Parole Officer should also make reference to the presence of the photo- graphs in the body of the post-sentence réport. or. Upon completing the post-sentence investigation, the information should be dictated to a secretary as outlined on Form Number PFO-4 (Exhibit 1-2 Ye. She is to type an original and two copies; the original and one copy should be forwarded to the headquarter's office and one copy should be placed in investigator's file. This copy, with the worksheet attached, should be filed using the procedures outlined in the filing section of this manual. (See Exhibits I-3 and I-4 for sample format and mock post-sentence investization.) Pre-Parole Investigation 1. The pre-parole investigation request will arrive in three different forms: | a. Personal History Statement and Warden's Evaluation (Parole Review Summary) b. Pre-Parole c. The Parole Program 2. The Personal History Statement: The investigator will receive a request on DCOR50-040 (7/76) (Exhibit I-5) approximately four months prior to the inmate's parole eligibility month. This form tells the month in which the subject is eligible, his serial number, his name as he was convicted, his race and sex, where he is serving and the reports needed. When a PHS is required, arrangements should be made to interview the inmate. The purpose of the interview should be explained and the importance of the correctness of addresses should be stressed. If the inmate at anytime during the interview states that he does no. wish to be considered for parole, his reason should be determined. An investigator should never ju * accept - walver " because it will save him time and work. If the subject's reason is that there is a detainer against him, he should be informed that there are procedures available through the Department of Offender Rehabilitation whereby he may demand trial on the detainer if it is in Georgia. Also, he should be informed that the detainer does not prevent him from being considered for Conditional Transfer (parole to the detainer). If he says he just wishes to make his time in prison, it should be determined that he is not under the false impression that Earned Time does not apply while on parole. Parolees receive the same Earned Time they wauld if still in prison and will be discharged at the same time EXHIBIT I-1 T0: Mr. District (Date) POST-SEMTENCE INVESTIGATION REQUEST AND WORK SHEET C-.nsideration Name No. Date Alias er Age Race Sex Date of Offense Conviction Court Sentence (1) = (2) : .

STROUP: This is the deposition of Mr. Lewis Slaton, taken by the petitioner upon consent of the parties and the witness, for all purposes permitted under the Federal Rules. I would propose, Mary Beth, that we reserve all objec- tions, except as to the form of the question and responsive- ness of the answer, until the hearing in this case. Are you agreeable? MS. WESTMORELAND: To a certain extent. My only reservation would be pursuant to the hearing we had yester- day before Judge Castellani, and any reservations that may come up pursuant to the discussions we had at that hearing, we might make them at this time. MR. STROUP: All right. Recognizing that under the understanding-- with the understandings that we're operating under, we'll reserve all objections, except as to the form of the question, and responsiveness of the answer, recognizing also that if there is a problem that we can't resolve here today, we both have the right to seek resolu- tion of that matter before Judge Castellani. All right. I would like to ask Mr. Slaton if he would like the oppor- tunity to read the transcript of the deposition and sign it, or whether you're willing to waive signature. MR. SLATON: I'll waive signature. MR. STROUP: All right. And let me ask that you place the witness under oath, please. 2 Whereupon, 3 LEWIS R.

Mr. Slaton, as a preliminary, let me simply express 12 < | my thanks and appreciation to you for cooperating with us 13 | on this deposition, and let me advise you of my effort to th have this deposition inconvenience you for as short a period 15 | of time as possible. Would you just briefly describe your 16 | educational background? 37 A. College degree, bachelor of science, from Georgia 18 | State, and a law degree from Emory University. 3 19 Q. All right. The law degree from Emory was received 2 20 | when? : 21 A. I believe it's 1947. . And the bachelor's degree from Georgia State? P E N G A D C O . . Q 23 A. About 1951 or '52. J Okay. Were you born and reared here in Georgia? A. Yes. ( rm o v f o a m B A Y O N N E , N. J. P E N G A D C O . , Oe Then briefly would you describe your employment background, particularly as it relates to the district attor- nev's office in Fulton County. A. I've been district attorney for 18 years, since April 21st, 1965. For four years before that, I was assistant city attorney of Atlanta. Q. In Atlanta? I'm sorry. A. In Atlanta. And I guess for about fourteen years before that, I practiced law. Q. All right. And when you were practicing law prior to being an assistant city attorney, that fourteen year period, was that here in the City of Atlanta? A. That was in Atlanta and Decatur. Q. Ckay. All right. So the time period for you serving as assistant city attorney would be roughly 1961 to 1965. A. Right. . Okay. Q A. And that was a part-time job. Q . All right. You also had a private practice as well. A. Private practice. Q. During that four years. Okay. Then I take it that your entire experience in the Fulton County District Attorney office has been as the district attorney. A. That's true. ( N. J. B A Y O N N E , P E N G A D C O . , © 10 1" 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Q. All right. You were initially appointed to the position in April of 1965. A, Appointed by Governor Sanders. Q. Okay. And then you stood for election. How long are your terms as district attorney? A. My first election was 1966 for the unexpired term, and the terms are four years, and I've run five times alto- gether. Q. All right. Your most recent reelection was when? A. 1580. Q. Okay. Are you the-- do you belong to any profes- sicnal organizations related to the function of a district attorney? A. There's an organization called National District Attorneys Association. I belong to that. And then there is a Georgia Association. I belong to that. Q. All right. Those two, the National and the Georgia Association, are those professional organizations the type that have meetings on a regular basis or irregular? What is the general pattern with respect to those groups? A. The Georgia Association meets a couple of times a vear, and the National DA's meet a couple of times a vear. Y v Y +l) Qe Okay. The Georgia Association, is it professional group for district attorneys? A. Made up of district attorneys and the assistant ~~ district attorneys. 2 Qo. Okay. B A. And I'm not sure; there may be others in it. 4 QD. All right. Are you a relative-- would you describe 5 your participation with these groups as an active partici- 6 | pation or rather inactive? 7 A. Somewhere between the two. 8 Q. Okay. You do go to meetings from time to time. 9 A. From time to time. 10 Ce. All right. But I take it from what you're saying, 11 | you don't go every time. 12 A. No. ( 13 4 All right. Would you just briefly describe the > 14 | dquties and responsibilities of your office? 15 A. My office handles about 7,000 felonies a year. 16 | We operate in disposing of these. We operate with the ARESA 17 | operation. We have an appellate section. We have an indictment : 18 | section, if there is indictments. We have an investigative z 19 | section. We do the things delegated by law, plus we are g 20 | rather active in some involved investigations that the police 21 | aren't equipped to handle with certain expertise. § 22 4 Okay. Is it fair to say just generally that the 23 | duties and responsibilities of your office are the prosecution 24 | of felony charges within the Atlanta Judicial Circuit? 25 A. That's truas. ; \ p J y , B A Y O N N E , N. J. 0 7 3 0 2 - P E N G A D C O . . Q. All right. And the Atlanta Judicial Circuit geo- graphically comprises Fulton County. A. Yes. Q. And nothing more than Fulton County. 5, Just Fulton County. Q. There are within the State of Georgia certain judicial districts comprised of more than one county; is that not correct? A. Yes. Q. Bub A. I think the metropolitan area is all one county jurisdictions. Douglas, Cobb, Gwinnett, DeKalb, Clayton I believe all have just one. Q. All right. Each of those counties-- what you're saying-- comprise a single judicial district. A. A single judicial district or circuit. Des Right. Okay. All right. Let me direct your atten- tion, if I might, to your duties and responsibilities-- your meaning your offices duties and responsibilities as it relates to the prosecution of homicide cases, and even more particularly direct your attention to those duties and responsibilities in what could be called the pre-indict- ment stage. Preliminarily, could you describe generally how it is that your office learns of a homicide? A. Okay. Generally, the police make an arrest. There's 9 ( 1 * id Ed - . a commitment hearing a municipal court. The case is bound 2 over to the grand jury, and at that time we become involved 3 : in it. That's as a general rule. 4 Q. Okay. And what responsibilities does your office 5 : : ; have once the matter is bound over to the grand jury, still 6 focusing upon the pre-indictment stage? 7 A. We have access to the police reports of witnesses, 8 : 4 We are able to call them in and talk to them. We are able 9 : : to ask them to get other information for us, and we have 10 % E: : va our own investigative staff that sometimes we utilize for 11 : : that purpose. We evaluate the case, determine to bring charges. 12 iii ain hE . : : "le present an indictment to the grand jury, subpoena the 13 ; : Sh ue ( witnesses. The grand jury acts on the indictment. If the > 14 : ae ah ; grand jury true bills it, it is then assigned to a court, 15 ‘ # : assigned to a trial lawyer, and thereafter comes up on the 16 or trial calendar. z 17 ; : LI 2 Q. Okay. Is it fair to say that when a homicide case z 18 Q . . » : : first comes to your office, that generally speaking your 3 19 i : : : : : : office has the option of seeking a murder indictment, seeking 3 20 cei ot g ie = an indictment to a lesser offense than murder or bringing z no charges at all? S 22 rl | 1 g A. That would be accurate. ; 23 i Q. Okay. 24 , A : ‘8 : A. We evaluate the evidence, and if we determine 25 . . A : : n . that an indictment 1s in line for a particular charge, we Pe > P n f , B A Y O N N E , N. J. [ 7 9 0 P E N G A D C O . , 10 draw that charge up. We present it to the grand jury. The grand jury makes a determination on whether to indict for that charge or whether to ask us to draw another charge. Q. Okay. Now, you indicated that one of the first things that was done was make an evaluation of the evidence; isn't that correct? A, That's true. Q. And I think you indicated earlier that one of the things you, I assume, had access to to evaluate the evidence would be the police reports and statements of wit- nesses that the police themselves would have generated; is that correct? A. That's true. Q. All rviaht. A. uite often, we need additional information, and ¥ O we call the the police to ask them to get the additional information. Then we would issue subpoenas and put the wit- nesses up before the grand jury. We have the option at that time to withdraw a case or to hold the case before the grand ct pi t i] jury shill additional witnesses are subpoenaed before grand jury makes the determination. OS. All right. Now, still just focusing your attention on this pre-indictment phase of a homicide case, does your office have any written guidelines that are applicable to help people make the judgment as to whether to seek a murder indictment, seek an indictment to a a charge less than murder 2 : or to not process or pursue the case at all? 3 ¥ To : \ : A. No. Each one is based on the evidence. 4 y mY So Q. Yeah, 311 right, 5 bs 8% - A. No written guidelines. Q. There are no written guidelines. Okay. Have there-- I take it what your testimony-- my question may not have been clear, and so let me ask another question to make sure. ) ¢ It's fair to say that there are no guidelines today in 19283, 18 { correct? al A, There are no written guidelines. Everything is 12 | based on the evidence that we have. Quite often we will 13 | change the indictment after the testimony before the grand Pe L jury. This is the same operation that we've had through Ye 3 3 § IN v “ TY EW ; ‘ 27 md 16 oy. Okay. That was my next question.

Now, you indicated there were no written guidelines. : 21 Are there unwritten guidelines or policies to help the decisipn ! 22 | makers determine whether on a given homicide what should : 43 be sought is a murder indictment or these other alternatives 24 | that a decision maker has open to him or her at that stage? 25 A. Wo. On the homicide cases, if the evidence shows Li ft s, o le] ~ kd N. J. B A Y O N N E , P E N G A D C O . , 24 25 12 murder, we just put up a murder indictment, and the grand jury has an option of no billing it or true billing. The grand jury has the option in some instances of asking us about the lesser charge, and so we can draw it as a lesser charge. 1 All right. Let me make sure I understand. What your staff does at the pre-indictment stage is if there is a-- if you believe there's evidence of murder, you seek a murder indictment. Qe. Are there situations involving a homicide where ~ { your staff would not seek a murder indictment? A. Involving—- Qe. A homicide. A. We indict some for voluntary manslaughter, involun- tary manslaughter. Q. All right. A. We do have other methods of handling cases, other than indictments, but it does not involve the murder cases. Q. Okay. All right. What criteria does your staff look to to decide whether to charge murder, whether to charge involuntarv manslaughtex? A. We look to the evidence. Q. All right. In terms of the personnel in your office who- make the decisions at the pre~indictment stage, the ( 1 s 3 L decision as to whether to bring a murder charge, whether to bring an involuntary manslaughter charge-- let me strike A I'll go ahead and answer what you were going to ask. If there's any question about it, they bring it to ny attention. Qe All right, n 6 Hy ji) & 8 Aa If it's a routine murder, they go ahead anc 3 anaral ls . o 3 41 3 74 yr x Im it up. Generally, I try to read the indictments befcre they gh TITIAN EE ND " ir a WY, ’ : BR Ni 2 22s ro 10 | are presented to see if they-- mainly not to try to check 1 | on what they're doing, as much as just trying to familiariz 12 | myself with what's going on in the office. [ 13 Q. All right. That is basically your involvement he 11} in the pre~indictment stage. 15 A. That's right. If there was a question of whether 16 | or not to bring a voluntary manslaughter indictment or a 7 | murder indictment, then they would take that up with 0. Can you recall the kinds of situations that have 19 | come up that would prompt a question to come to you? : 20 A. I can't recall one offhand as far as murders are 21 | concerned. Sometimes we have cases that it's a question g 22 | of whether we should process them in felony court or mis- 2 : 23 | demeanor court, but that wouldn't involve murders. So as 24 | far as murders are concerned, I can't recall. Sometimes 25 £3 we might have a person driving an automobile under the influ- rd § KO RE 20 4: N. J. B A Y O N N E , P E N G A D C O . . 10 11 24 25 14 ence killing someone, which may possibly fall within an involuntary manslaughter or a separate crime of habitual violator or something of that nature, but none of those are murders. Q. All right. Is it fair to say then that questions are rarely referred to you as to whether to bring a murder indictment, involuntary manslaughter indictment? A. That's true. They're rarely referred to me as ae dare iAS . Shr yso - fa far as murder cases are concerned. I~ Pn] Q S SNC Y ® A. Of course; we don't have as many of those as we have other cases. I believe, according to my cases, we had about 97 defendants in 1982, that's 97 out of the 7,000 I was telling vou about. 2. All right. 97 cases where a murder indictment Q. And I didn't hear the year A. Last year, 1922. 0. 1882. A. And I would venture to say that I'm probably famil with all 97 of those. Q. Ckay. I think you indicated earlier on that there was in fact an indictment branch or an indictment section=-- A. Section. eo; [se] N o d Ne B A Y O N N E , P E N G A D €C O. . 10 1 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 Oo -~within your office. Are the personnel in the indictment section the personnel who make these decisions regarding whether to bring a murder, seek murder indictment ov before the grand jury, or is that not their function? A. Well, I don't think you could crystallize it quite that way. We have lawyers in the indictment section, several lawyers. They are getting reports from the police department. They are evaluating the evidence to determine what they have. Now, if there's a case where we do not have sufficient not able to get sufficient evidence, we will not present vays brought to my attention. But ordinarily the cases, they have been through a commitment ccurt before. There's been testimony before a commitment court. A judge in another jurisdiction has determined there's probable cause for a murder, or they would have the right also to dismiss it. So there's not as much discretion in bring murder indictments as there would be possibly in bringii some other types. Q. Okay. What about to the extent that there is some discretion that is exercised at the pre~indictment phase, even just judging the evidence-- do we have enough at this point, do we not have encugh to take it to the grand jury-- is it the attorneys in the indictment section that do that? A. Well, if we have a case, as you're talking now, h is o d OM know abecut that one. Also, we quite often put up cases where, in our view, it's a close question of whether or not an indictment should be returned. We put those cases up generally to the grand jury and let the grand jury make the decision on them. At such time we bring every- thing we have. We'll have a full-fledged hearing on it, 7 - : I, oS » bY & o and in certain instances they no bill them. The grand juries are instructed at the beginning of the term just because 9 we present a case to them, we don't expect them to true 10 | bill it, that we make just as much money. They know that. ! CO, pT] i» 5 vy LETTE NEN, . —y : - 1 | We have plenty of cases without any particular case. 12 Q. Are there-- you mentioned close question cases, 13 | and that your practice is generally referring those to the ( nd jury. I suppose there's at least also some number +r - - dew - op - = pn my ; 3 « ~ cg 15 | of situations where there are close questions that you have 16 | really come down on the side that there isn't enough evidence A. That may be. I don't recall that right now. We generally, if a person's dead, another person killed z 20 | we generally present that case.

I'm involved for several reasons. Some reasons from a standpoint especially of evaluating the evidence. For example, there may be three people charged with murder, and we decide to go for the capital punishment on one of Fro © Ju Yup 20 wy ~ pa. nm an ey . x fe - 3 . ay § them. We sever that case. That case is tried separately. 10 | Otherwise, there's a possibility that we may can try all 11 | three together. So thera's a lot of things involved in making ’ 12 | the decision. We don't ask for capital punishment as much 15 | they are in some counties. Last year I can recall two cases 16 | that we asked for the capital punishment, and we did not 7 | get it. One was an adult homicide where a man named Chambers and another individual murdered a female, everybody being * black, because they thought the female had told the authori- : 20 | ties something about their drug business. It was a very : 21 brutal murder. They tied her up, shot her a couple of times, ; 22 | sodomized her, raped her, and we tried them separately. : 23 | Both of them we asked for the death penalty, and the jury 24 | gave life. And the other case involved a man named Wilson 2 tis . avi ¢ Pra % NEE : ® | who was a black male, and the victim was supposed to be to 2 y P y , ails — a pimp for a prostitute, also black. We sought the death penalty in that case. The jury weculd not give the death penalty. That's the only two cases that I can recall that we sought the death penalty in 1982. 5 gd. Okay.

I just wanted to make sure I understood A 8 er 25 } y RT Le v3 EAN 4- - i 3 y 3 ve = 7 how your system worked that's all-- and I was trying to { 2 f n , % explore the scope of the authority of the trial district attorney.

Inappropriate, one that he or she believes the 8 death sentence should not be sought, does he or she need 7 to report that opinion to you? 8 A. Now, when you're speaking of murder cases, I think ° the trial assistants and I would be in agreement on the 10 | fact that we don't seek it very often. We seek it on the 1 | most atrocious cases. We seek it where there are not questions 12 of identity. We seek it where the evidence evaluates to o that extent. We seek it where it fits within the ambit off b “vy an yoy od - ~3 ¥ In = de -— - 4 the law, and again, we don't have that many cases. And i th 15 2 rr pd - al assistant comes to me on a case like that and says, 16 "I've got problems with it if we convict.

Now, Judge Ward is on this one, and Judge Weltner. 0D. -=~Volume 240 of Georgia Reports, September, 1977. And on this Petitioner's Exhibit 4, you have indicated that Judge Ward and Judge Weltner have appeared. A. Yes, Q. Okay. Those gentlemen also served as Superior Court judges in Fulton County; is that correct? A. That's true. OQ, All right. And of the Superior Court Judges listed for the Arlanta Judicial Circult on Petitioner's Exhibit 4, the one black judge is Judge Horace T.

But as of 1980, Judge Jenrette has appeared, and 8 | Judge Ward has left; is that correct? 9 A. That's true. 10 Q.

Now, the Witherspoon case was 1968, ie 4 and the Witherspoon case changed all of the cases then to 15 life. Then the Purman case came cut in 1872. At that time, 16 the Supreme Court said our statute was not constitutional, ; 7 | and so we had no death penalty then until 1273.

I suppose where we've got capital punishment, I know the race. But many years ago we moved into having black jury commis-. sioners. We have never lost any case based on the composition of our juries. We wanted to be sure that we had an adequate number of jurors, based on the population. - w 8 0. “All right, A. Now, that was Critus, and since Critus, we have 10 | still kept up with the thing. I do have figures on race 11! from the city from the FBI reports. 12 Q. On race of victims? » 13 a, On race. For example, in 1982, out of the 161 { : 14 | homicides in the City of Atlanta, they were not able to 15 | attribute one to a white killing a black. In 1981, there 16 | was 196. They could attribute three of a white killing a : 17.1 plack. 2 Q * Okay ® 3 A. From a racial standpoint, 90 per cent of our cases : 3 20 | are blacks killing blacks, and then the rest are whites : 21 | killing whites or blacks killing whites, but no whites killing co No No blacks RLACKS « 23 0. Okay. What do you make of that? 24 A. That is the way that it works in our city. It 25 goes on back. In 1980, out of 212 homicides, there was only 63 \ one that we could attribute of a white killing a black. 2 It's black killing black or black killing white, and mostly : 90 per cent black killing black. Now, some of the whites a killing whites fit in the moxe atrocious phase of our evalu- 5 ation. Some of those are the most horrible type cases. 6 Q. kay. Let me get back to the question about your ? own records. 8 A. My own records do not show. I do not have a com- 9 | pilation of how many cases are black, how many are white. 10 Q. By either defendant or victim? i 114) A. No. They do have them at the city level, and they 12 | give the data to the FBI, and the FBI comes out with reports . 13 | every three months, so they are available from that source. 1 3 14 0. - AY right, 15 A. That's where I got the one where I said in 1982 16 | there wasn't a single white who killed a single black. 5 17 Qe Has anyone in your office ever taken a look at : 8 | the whole question of what happens to white victim crimes 19 | in your charging and sentencing process versus what happens : : 20 | to black victim crimes in your charging and sentencing proces$? : 21 A.

I know who is black and who is white. 0. All right. A. Because the courts have put some stress on that in various cases, so we've kept up with it. Q. All right. What about the experience beyond the cases where you have sought the death penalty? A. We do nct add up blacks and whites. We do check. For example, many years ago it was very difficult to get a life sentence if the victim was black and the defendant was black, and one week we got two sentences from trials-- this was many years ago-- and we felt like we had reached a certain plateau. We are very car=ful about seeing that our recommendations are the same, black and white, and have been throughout the years. And I think our records will substantiate that there's no difference in the sentencing. And I'm sure you've looked through them, and I believe you'll Q. I think that your response is you've looked at it from time to time in an informal way, but there is no systematic review in your office of charging and sentencing patterns to determine whether there's a disparity in terms of race of victim or race of defendant in the charging and sentencing patterns.

We've been studied by other people, by the defense . They've checked, and I don't think you'll find e where they've raised any question about disparity ° races in Fulton County. rict attorneys~- Georgia District Attorneys profes organizations. Well, I want to maybe clarify that a little. The District Attorneys Association, for example, in + had two or three seminars at Athens with speakers. ings a year, and the main advantage I have in that - N B A Y O N N E , P E N G A D C O , is to get to know the DA's from the other parts of the countr so I can make a phone call and cut red tape. Qe Have you had occasion to meet most of the distr attorneys in Georgia? A. In Georgia? At some times in the past, I have ict probably known most of them. Right at this particular time, I do not know over half. QO. Do you know, abs there any black district attor in Georgia? A. I don't know of any black districy atiorneys in Georgia. Q. All right. Now, let me just ask you just a cou nore brief questions. Do you know from your own personal knowledge of any situations involving murder cases where the family of the victim has been adamant one way or the other in their desires that the death penalty be sought or that the death penalty, on the other hand, not be soug A. Quite often. QO. All right. In both directions, or has your expe ence been that adamant views are more one way than the ot A. They're more one way than the other. Q. And which way is that? A. To seek it. 0. All right. What's your understanding-- A. I'll say the two cases that we sought in '82, neys - ht? ri- Yr “a be ER VI N B A Y O N N E , N. J. P E N G A D Cc C. . there was no request by the family in those two cases. It 0 was just the DA's office. ¥ Q. All right. There are situations where you have sought the death penalty even though the family was not A. Yes. Q. Is that a factcr that you would anticipate that would at least need to be taken into account, if the family A. I don't know how it's done elsewhere. We're in sympathy with the family. We try to consult the family if o* they're adamant to explain why we do whatever we do, but Q. Can you state unequivocally today that the desires of the victim's family that the death penalty be sought has not been one of the factors relied upon by yvour office from time to time in deciding to seek the death penalty? A. I can't say that that has ever made the decision one way or the other. I do remember one case where it was a fairly close decision, and the family expressed no desire for capital punishment, and in that particular instance we did not seek it. I don't recall the converse. Q. Okay. Have there ever been situations where a decision to seek the death penalty in your view may have been somewhat influenced by pressures of the community, 5 « N. J. B A Y O N N E , P E N G A D C O . . 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 69 cases where there's lots of publicity, there's lots of out- * rage in the community, the situation that gets lots of publi- A. Well, quite often the cases that we seek the death penalty in have a lot of people in the community feeling the same way that we are feeling when we make the evalua- tion, but I cannot say that-- I don't recall us seeking the death penalty in any case because the community felt like we should seek the death penalty. You may have one that you want to throw out to me, but I don'ts recall. But usually it's the same, the atrociousness of the crime. And but when you start evaluating your evidence, it's not suffi- cient to go for the death penalty. So in those cases, we go for the life penalty. If we get both, we go for the death generally. 0. Do you recall any situations where your offi has sought the death penalty, but was-- I don't know how to ask it so that you understand what I mean-- sought it in a halfhearted way, if you understand what I mean. A. I don't quite understand that. Q. A case where it's a close question, but you decided Ir +4 yy to seek it anyway. A. We have had cases where we sought the death penalty and after the guilt phase, the jury took so long on the 4 ( guilt phase that we waived the death penalty on the penalty phase. We've had cases like that. We thought if it's that much trouble to find a person guilty, maybe we wouldn't seek the death penalty. I'm not aware of any cases that > | you may have in mind of half way trying the case, or something of that nature. 3). All right. But it would be your judgment-- I mean, you're clear then that there have been situations where just lengthy jury deliberations-—-- 10 A. I recall one of those. One of the cases that was 1 on your list, we thought, and still think that the death 12 nenalty would have been warranted, but the citizens of the 13 | community are the ones that are going to have to give it. 14 Obviously, they were having problems ~ @ Bae le ae : : i) re Sati pane J v 15 Qe.

ZANT, Superintendent, Georgia Diagnostic & Classification Center, NO. C81-2434A Respondent Affidavit of David C. Baldus on behalf of Petitioner " The undersigned, being duly sworn, deposes and says as follows. On or about August 18, 1983, the Court in this proceeding delivered to George Woodworth and me a specification of variables from the Charging and Sentencing Study styled the "Lawyers' Model," a copy of which is attached hereto as Appendix A. The Lawyers' Model includes three sets of variables -- aggravating factors (items 1-4), mitigating factors (item 5), and strength of the evidence measures (item 6). The Lawyers' Model specified that a case be included in the analysis if it (a) possessed a specified combination of the aggravating factors in items 1-4, and (b) showed the strength of the evidence measured by the variables in item 6; the instructions further stated that cases with the mitigating factors in item 5 were to be excluded from the analysis. Part I of this affidavit presents the results of analyses conducted with four subsets of cases identified with variables in the Lawyers' Model. 2 9/15/83 an alternative method for estimating racial effects while controlling for the non-racial background variables specified in the Lawyers' Model is to enter them into a multiple regression analysis as independent variables. Part II of this affidavit presents the results of four analyses using this approach. Finally, the Lawyers' Model teidented that we account for the status of defense counsel in the cases, stent eioilly whether the defendant's counsel was (a) a private attorney appointed by the court, or (b) either a privately retained attorney or a Sours appointed attorney with an institutional affiliation (e.g., a public defender). Part III of this affidavit presents the results of the analyses addressing this issue. I. Analyses Using Cases Selected With Variables Specified in the Lawyers' Model. a. The Samples The first three variables in the Lawyers' Model (items 1-3) were already included in the file of the Charging and Sentencing 1l/ ; : : vidi: Study.— However, to identify the cases with the characteristics specified in items 4-6, it was necessary to create a series of new variables. The coding for these variables, (V4A-V6D), whose names corres ond to the paragraphs in the Lawyers' Model at Appendix A, is listed in Appendix B of this Affidavit. 1l/ Item 1 (INDICT); Item 2 (DEFAGE); Item 3 (DEATHELG). -3- 9/15/83 The variables specified in the Lawyers' Model for selecting cases sharply limited the cases available for analysis, specifically, they identified only 31 of the 1066 cases in the sample and only 15 of the 128 death sentence cases. In order to obtain samples of sufficient size both to conduct multiple regression analyses and to obtain a substantial representation of death sentence cases, we relaxed the requirements of the Lawyers' Model in three successive stages with the results presented in Table 1. For Example, row 2 of Table 1 indicates (Table 1 goes here) that when the limitations of the original Lawyers' Model were relaxed with respect to the mitigating factors used to exclude cases from the analysis, the sample included 66 cases representing 104 cases in the universe and 21% of the death sentence cases. The fourth and largest sample included 354 cases with 76% (97/128) of the death sentence cases. ff 9/15/83 Table 1 A B c D Sample Number apg Total Samp] Cases in the Universe Proportion and Characteristics— of Cases— Reprosqnted by the Number of Death ; Sample— with the Sentence Cases Proportion of Universe Represented 1.

Sample 3 was produced by deleting entirely the requirement that a case be dropped from the analysis because of the presence of one of the variables listed in Items 5A-5E. For Sample 4 we relaxed the strength of evidence requirements by changing Item 6D from "at least six" to "at least three" positive responses. 2/ These are unweighted counts. 3/ These are weighted counts. =D 9/15/83 b. Crosstabulation Analysis For each sample, we calculated death sentencing rates overall and among the four groups of cases produced by the "Defendant/victim racial combination" variable.

Multiple Regression Analysis We next conducted weighted least squares multiple regression analyses which controlled for the 39 background variables in Schedule 4 of the Technical Appendix (Petitioner's Exhibit DB 96A). Analyses were conducted for Samples 3 and 4 with 238 and 354 cases respectively. For each analysis, we first controlled simlutaneocusly for the 39 background variables and then in a second analysis, for the background variables from the list of 39 that showed a statistically significant relationship with the outcome variable at the .10 level.

The racial coefficients estimated in two analyses with "Death Sentence Given a Murder Indictment" as the dependent variable were as follows: Table 6 Race of Victim Race of Defendant Death Odds Regression Death Odds Regression Multiplier Coefficient Multiplier Coefficient (with level (with level of Statistical of Statistical Significance) Significance) Background Variables Simultaneously Controlled For a) 39 variables in 4.0 1.3% «57 -.56 Schedule 4 of : £.03) {:15) Petitioner's Exhibit DB 960A b) 19 of the 392 variables 5.5 1.87 71 -.39 in a) above with a (.001) (.40) statistically signifi- cant relationship (.10 level) with the dependent variable Finally we used the 354 cases in Sample 4 to produce two figures which contrast the rise in death sentencing rates in white and black victim cases among similarly situated cases as the aggravation level of the cases increases. For this purpose, the aggravation level of each case was estimated from the results of a weighted least square regression which controlled for the 39 nen-racial background variables included in Schedule 4 of Petitioner's Exhibit DB 96A. The results a.c presented in figures 1 and 2.

Figures 1 also indicates that among cases with an aggravation level comparable to Warren McClesky, there is a 25 percentage point race of victim disparity. The results of the analysis shown in the first section of this affidavit are consistent with the results presented in the hearing. There are persistent race of victim effects and when the analysis focuses on the more aggravated cases, where there is a substantial risk of a death sentence, those effects increase substantially. II. Racial Coefficients Estimated in Analyses Using Variables Created for the Lawyers' Model as Background Controls The 18 variables created to select cases for the analyses reported in Part I provide an alternative means of controlling for the non-racial background case characteristics identified as important in the Lawyers' Model. We estimated racial coefficients in regression analyses while controlling simultaneously for these 18 non-racial background factors. We also estimated racial effects in analyses using the variables from the Lawyers' Model and the 39 variables which we believe to be most important in the system. The results of weighted least squares analyses using the 354 cases in Sample 4 were as follows: we] Ye Table 7 Race of Victim Coefficient (with 9/15/83 Race of Defendant Coefficient (with Adjusted level of Statistical level of Statistical RZ Significance Significance Background Variables Simultaneously Controlled For b 1. 18 variables in 31 10% oe the Lawyers’ (.04) {.27) Model 2. 18 variables in «43 oil .05 the Lawyers’ (.04) (.34) Model and the 39 variables in Schedule 4 of Petitioner's Exhibit DB 96A 3. 39 variables in . 39 vIl .01 Exhibit DB 96A {.05) (.20) a/ The logistic regression coefficient and death odds estimated in a separate analysis were 1.45 and 4.3 respectively (significant at the .003 level). multiplier for race of victim b/ The logistic regression coefficient and death odds multiplier for race of defendant estimated in a separate analysis were .34 and 1.4 respectively (significant at the .42 level). These data show the same pattern of racial effects observed in our earlier analyses. III. Racial ffcoccts Estimated After Adjustment For Status of Counsel and Defendant's Socio-Eccnomic Sta’ Finally, the Lawyers' Model suggested separate analyses for defendants (a) with appointed private counsel, and (b) with retained counsel or appointed counsel with an institutional affiliation, such as a public defender. -]2- 9/15/83 The status of defense counsel was known in 76% of the cases in the sample. Among the cases in the universe, the death sentencing rate is estimated at .10 (78/795) for defendants with appointed private counsel, and .05 (48/1002) for defendants with either retained counsel or appointed counsel with an institutional sE8{%iation of This correlation suggests that the observed race of victim and race of defendant disparities in death sentencing rates may reflect a spurious relationship caused by the higher frequency of private appointed counsel in black defendant and white victim cases. In fact, however, black defendants have private appointed counsel only slightly more often than white defendants (.33 for black Selerdants v. .32 for white / defendants) Similarly, defendants with white victims have private appointed counsel only slightly more frequently than defendants with black victims (.37 for white victim cases v. .29 for black victim 4 ‘ ; Sil cAsesy of Moreover, multiple regression analyses indicate that the inclusion of a variable for the status of defense counsel does not 1l/ Among the cases in the universe where the status of defense counsel was known an estimated 29% of defendants had appointed private counsel, 16% had appointed counsel with unknown affiliation, 39% had private retained counsel, and 17% had appointed counsel with an institutional affiliation. Because the Parole Board files usually indicate an institutional affiliation when it existed, it is appropriate to assume, as did the Lawyers' Model, that cases with appointed counsel but an unknown affiliation are most likely private appointed counsel. In the analysis that follows that assumption is applied in classifying the cases by the status of defense counsel. 2/ The correlation coefficient between the status of defense counsel and the death sentencing result is r = .10 (statistically significant at the .01 level). 3/ The correlation is.r = .01 significant at the .83 level. 4/ The correlation coefficient is .07 (significant at the .05 level).

The status of defense counsel was known in 84% of the cases in Sample 4 and the results were as follows: 1/ The correlation between defendant's socio-economic status (S.E.S.) r and the death sentencing result is .05 (significant at the .08 level); the correlation between the S.E.S. variable and race of defendant is .15 (significant at the .0001 level) indicating black defendants are considerably more likely to have low socio-economic status. 2/ These analyses were also based on the sample of cases and included an interaction term between the defendant's socio-economic status and the race of victim. An analysis limited to the cases in Sample 3 without an interaction term showed slightly enhanced race of victim and race of defendant effects when the variable for defendant's socio-economic status is included in the analysis. -] 5m Table 9S I...

These results tell us that prosecutors are more inclined to be punitive in cases involving white victims (and to a lesser degree black defendants) if the defense attorney is in private practice and court appointed. One possible explanation for this pattern may be that private appointed attorneys put up less of a fight and otherwise develop less pressure on the prosecutor to accept a plea or unilaterally waive the death Penalrys Under such circumstances, the system is more likely to respond to the pressure for a death sentence that is generated when the victim is white. These data have particular significance since over 75% (98/128) of Jenih sentences are imposed in cases in which the defendant was represented by private appointed counsel. The status of defense counsel is also a proxy for the defendant's socio-economic status since counsel is appointed only for indigent defendants; the strong race of victim effect in private appointed counsel cases therefore may also reflect a greater perception of culpability when the defendant is poor and a greater willingness of prosecutors and juries to respond to the pressure for a death sentence that arises when the victim is white. To test the extent to which the latter hypothesis is supported by the data, we conducted separate multiple regression analyses which included variables (“interaction terms") reflecting (a) the interaction between the race of victim and the status of counsel, and (b) the race of victim and the defendant's . -l7= 9/15/83 socio-economic status. The results of these separate analyses were as follows: Table 10 A. B. Cs D. F.

B), or when the defendant's socio-economic status is low (Col. C). Columns D and E show the magnitude of the race of victim "main effect," which indicates the average race of victim 17 ™~» first cmalysis iucluded, in addition to the racial variables, variables for status of defense counsel, the race of victim/status of defense counsel interaction effect, and the 39 non-racial background factors in Petitioner's Exhibit DB 962A. The race of victim coefficients (both main effect and interaction term) from these analyses are reported in columns B & D. The second analysis included, in addition to the racial variables, variables for the defendant's socio-economic status, the race of victim/defendant's socio-economic status interaction effect and the 29 non-racial background factors. The race of victim coefficients (both main effect and interaction term) from this analysis are reported in columns C & E. -18- 9/15/83 ffect across all cases. Thus for the outcome measure "Death Sentence Given a Murder Indictment" (row 1, column D) indicates that in the analysis including the status of defense counsel variable, there is an average race of victim etroct of 9 percentage points, while column B indicates a 4 point interaction effect with the status of counsel; thus the race of victim effect estimated in this analysis is 13 points in the cases with appointed counsel and 5 points when counsel is retained or appointed with an institutional affiliation. The results of the analysis in Table 1C indicate that the race of victim interaction effacts are comaiaile with both the "status of defense counsel" and the "low soclieenironts status" variables. One is left therefore with the impression that both the competence, independence and energy of defense counsel, and the defendant's status as an indigent affect the extent to which the system will respond to the pressure for a punitive response that arises when the victim is white. IV. Summary Our analysis of the questions posed by the Lawyers’ Model indicates that race of victim and race of defendant disparities in death sentencing rates persist among the most death worthy cases, both before and after adjustment .»>r the leading non-racial background factors operating in the system (pp. 4-9). Similar disparities are also observed when the mitigating, aggravating and strength of evidence variables suggested by Lawyers' Model were introduced as background controls (pp. 9-10). The third phase of the analysis focused on the =19- 9/15/83 status of defense counsel and the defendant's socio-economic status. Our analysis clearly demonstrates that the racial disparities in death sentencing rates observed in the system are explained by neither the status (and presumably competence) of defense counsel nor the defendant's socio-economic status. Our analysis of these two variables indicates, however, that the racial disparities, particularly the race of victim effect, are most pronounced among cases in which the defendant is indigent or has a private appointed counsel, a category of cases accounting for over 75% of the death sentences imposed. The system appears therefore not only to discriminate racially but also to allocate the principal burden of that Sl zorininabion to the poor and underprivileged. The results reported in this affidavit reinforce the opinions I expressed at the August 8-19, 1983 hearing about the role of racial factors in Georgia's capital Charging and Sentencing System. The data presented in that hearing indicate that as the cases became more aggravated, according to both statutory and non-statutory criteria, the observed racial disparities in death sentencing rates increase. For example, Petitioner's Exhibit DB 83 showed an average race of victim disparity (as measured in least squares analyses) of approximately 6 points, and that disparity increased to 10 points when the analysis was limited to death eligible cases under the two leading statutory aggravating factors (B-2 & B-7) (Petitioner's Exhibit DB 85). The Lawyers' Model considered in this Affidavit limited the analysis to a narrower, more aggravated set of cases, and the race of victim disparities were even larger (13 and 11 points) among those cases than ! -20- 9/15/83 the disparities observed among the B-2 & B-7 cases (compare Table 5, Y/ Part I and Table 6 of this Affidavit with Petitioner's Exhibit 85). 2 Lat LY Sutil David C.
