Reprieve blocks execution
SALT LAKE CITY—Condemned murderer Gary Mark Gilmore's wish to be executed on schedule by a firing squad Monday has been blocked by a reprieve issued by Gov. Calvin Rampton to allow Utah's Board of Pardons to consider the case.
Gilmore's attorney, Dennis Boaz, said he was "outraged" by what he termed the "meddling of a lame duck governor."
Latimer said that if the board decided the execution should proceed, the trial judge, 4th District Court Judge Robert Bullock, would have to reschedule it.
*Meaning of a tattoo judge.* Rumpleton cannot comment sentences or issue pardons, but he can issue
pardons well, but he cannot consider cases.

The statement, agreed on unanimously by the 15 council members, expressed "grave anxiety and concern over the present serious situation in the occupied Arab territories as a result of the occupying power," to comply strictly with the Geneva agreement governing the administration of occupied territories.
