Justice Brennan and Justice Marshall,

dissenting.

Adhering to our views that the death penalty is in all circumstances cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U. S. 153, 227, 231 (1976), we would grant certiorari and vacate the death sentences in these cases.

    California v. Sabo et al.
   Ct. App. Cal., 4th App. Dist. Motions of respondents Ronald Lee Sabo and Angela Marie Zizzo for leave to proceed in forma pauperis granted. Certiorari denied.

Justice White,

with whom The Chief Justice joins,

dissenting.

During a routine helicopter patrol a deputy sheriff observed what he believed to be marijuana plants growing inside a 15- by 20-foot greenhouse located in respondents’ backyard. The helicopter hovered at 400 to 500 feet and circled the greenhouse in order to give the deputy a better look at the marijuana. Based on this observation a search warrant issued and deputies seized the marijuana. A trial court held the marijuana inadmissible as evidence and the California Court of Appeal affirmed, holding that the deputy’s observation of the greenhouse from the hovering helicopter violated the Fourth Amendment. 185 Cal. App. 3d 845, 230 Cal. Rptr. 170 (1986). The Court of Appeal distinguished California v. Ciraolo, 476 U. S. 207 (1986), on the ground that there the observation of marijuana was made from a fixed-wing aircraft flying in navigable airspace at an altitude over 1,000 feet. The court concluded that here the helicopter was not in navigable airspace as that term is defined at 49 U. S. C. App. § 1301(29), but recognized that the helicopter was lawfully positioned because federal regulations allow operation of helicopters at altitudes less than the minimum permitted to fixed-wing aircraft, provided that the helicopter operates without hazard to persons or property, see 14 CFR § 91.79(d) (1987). The court expressed concern about the capabilities of helicopters to furnish “a platform for aerial surveillance,” 185 Cal. App. 3d, at 854, 230 Cal. Rptr., at 175, and held that the search in this case infringed on a reasonable expectation of privacy.

The Court of Appeal’s holding that the helicopter was not in navigable airspace is questionable, and even if this is technically correct it remains true, as the court conceded, that the helicopter was lawfully positioned when the deputy observed the marijuana in respondents’ greenhouse. While it is certainly possible that helicopter surveillance could be unreasonably intrusive on account of interminable hovering, raising clouds of dust, creating unreasonable noise, and so forth, nothing in the record indicates that any such factor was present in this case. The decision below is a highly questionable interpretation of our decision in California v. Ciraolo. I would grant certiorari.

      Title 49 U. S. C. App. § 1301(29) defines navigable airspace as “airspace above the minimum altitudes of flight prescribed by regulations issued under this chapter, . . . includ[ing] airspace needed to insure safety in take-off and landing of aircraft.” The Court of Appeal reasoned that a helicopter flying below 1,000 feet is not above a specified minimum flight altitude and hence not in navigable airspace.

    Johnson v. Cabana, Acting Commissioner, Mississippi Department of Corrections.
   C. A. 5th Cir. Application for stay of execution of sentence of death, presented to Justice White, and by him referred to the Court, denied. Certiorari denied.

Justice Brennan,

with whom Justice Marshall joins,

dissenting.

Adhering to my view that the death penalty is in all circumstances cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U. S. 153, 227 (1976), I would grant the application for stay of execution and the petition for certiorari, and would vacate the death sentence in this case.

Even if I did not take this view, I would still grant the application for a stay and the petition for certiorari. Petitioner raises a substantial claim that, since trial, he has become incompetent and therefore may not be executed. In Ford v. Wainwright, 477 U. S. 399 (1986), the Court held that the Eighth Amendment bars execution of convicted prisoners found to be incompetent. The Court rested its holding on the lack of “retributive value [in] executing a person who has no comprehension of why he has been singled out and stripped of his fundamental right to life.” Id., at 409. The Court also relied on “the natural abhorrence civilized societies feel at killing one who has no capacity to come to grips with his own conscience or deity.” Ibid. In a concurring opinion, Justice Powell stated:

“If the defendant perceives the connection between his crime and his punishment, the retributive goal of the criminal law is satisfied. And only if the defendant is aware that his death is approaching can he prepare himself for his passing. Accordingly, I would hold that the Eighth Amendment forbids the execution only of those who are unaware of the punishment they are about to suffer and why they are to suffer it.” Id., at 422.

Petitioner’s claim is founded on an affidavit by a licensed clinical psychologist stating his findings as to petitioner’s sanity. Following a 5-hour evaluation of petitioner, and after a review of petitioner’s medical records and of statements by others acquainted with petitioner, the affiant concluded:

“Edward Johnson is unable to relate any punishment through-execution to his own conduct, or the conduct alleged against him. He does not understand why he is being singled out, and does not have the proper mental framework to come to grips with his own conscience. It is quite clear that this is the product of mental disease or defect.” App. to Pet. for Cert. D 2.

The plausibility of this conclusion is buttressed by the affidavit of a psychiatrist, who evaluated petitioner prior to his trial. That evaluation “revealed substantial mental defects,” and the affiant diagnosed that petitioner had “suffered from brain dysfunction” from birth, and “suffered from [an] organic brain syndrome” that intermittently caused personality and behavioral changes. He concluded “that [petitioner’s] mental problems were severe.” Id., at E 1-2.

Petitioner first presented this evidence to the Mississippi Supreme Court pursuant to the State’s postconviction procedures set forth in Miss. Stat. Ann. § 99 — 19—5T(2)(b) (Supp. 1987). In response, the State submitted affidavits that disputed petitioner’s claims. The Mississippi Supreme Court did not hold a hearing in this matter, nor did it even consider the affidavits presented by the State. Instead, the court simply concluded, without explanation, that it did “not find it necessary to consider [the State’s affidavits] because [petitioner] failed to make out a prima facie case of present insanity by his affidavits.” Johnson v. State, 508 So. 2d 1126, 1127 (1987). The court summarily held that petitioner’s evidence was insufficient standing alone to raise “a reasonable probability” that petitioner is presently “insane.” Ibid.

The Constitution does not require an indigent prisoner to produce more than what petitioner has in order to meet the burden of coming forward. There is nothing amiss, at least facially, in petitioner’s affidavits. The affidavits were prepared by licensed professionals, not by family members or friends. Cf. Evans v. McCotter, 805 F. 2d 1210, 1212-1213 (CA5 1986) (affidavit of insanity by prisoner’s sister does not raise legitimate question of sanity). They are based on comprehensive evaluations of petitioner. If true, they reveal an individual who, because of mental defect, is “unaware of the punishment [he is] about to suffer and why [he is] to suffer it.” Ford, 477 U. S., at 422 (concurring opinion). Yet this individual, according to the Mississippi Supreme Court, has not raised even a prima facie Ford claim sufficient to warrant consideration of the State’s response. If unchallenged affidavits by licensed professionals, concluding that a condemned man “is unable to relate any punishment through execution to his own conduct,” are insufficient to raise a prima facie case that he is incompetent under Ford, then it is hard to imagine what would.

As- applied by the Mississippi Supreme Court, the State’s procedures for evaluating the competency of those on death row are inconsistent with Ford, and with the minimum requirements of due process when the constitutionality of an execution is at stake. It is true that, in Ford, we “left to the State the task of developing appropriate ways” to ensure that the incompetent would never be executed. We also acknowledged that “it may be that some high threshold showing on behalf of the prisoner will be found a necessary means to control the number of nonmeritorious or repetitive claims of insanity.” Id., at 417. But we left no doubt that the “overriding dual imperative” in devising procedures to comply with Ford was to ensure “redress for those with substantial claims and [to] encourag[e] accuracy in the factfinding determination.” Ibid. Mississippi’s procedures appear utterly inconsistent with this imperative.

Because the precedent set below threatens to undermine the practical effectiveness of our holding in Ford, I would grant the stay and the petition to consider the constitutionality of Mississippi’s procedures for ensuring that its death sentencing system comports with the constitutional obligations identified in Ford.

      1 am at a loss to guess what extensive showing the State might require of an indigent defendant before it would grant a hearing.

    No. 86-6925 (A-844).
    Tucker v. Kemp, Warden.
   C. A. 11th Cir. Application for stay of execution of sentence of death, presented to Justice Powell, and by him referred to the Court, denied. Certiorari denied.

Justice Brennan,

with whom Justice Marshall joins,

dissenting.

Adhering to my view that the death penalty is in all circumstances cruel and unusual punishment prohibited by the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments, Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U. S. 153, 227 (1976), I would grant the application for stay of execution and the petition for certiorari, and would vacate the death sentence in this case.

Even if I did not take this view, however, I would still grant the application for a stay. Tucker’s petition for certiorari raises the question whether inflammatory and prejudicial photographs of the victim’s body introduced at trial violated his constitutional right to “fundamental fairness and a reliable sentencing determination.” Pet. for Cert. i. This question is sufficiently similar to a question that will be decided by the Court in Thompson v. Oklahoma, certiorari granted, 479 U. S. 1084 (1987), that the petition should be held by the Court pending our disposition of the question in Thompson.

I find particularly disturbing the Court of Appeals’ treatment of this question. In deciding that the grant of certiorari in Thompson did not “sufficiently suggest that ‘new law’ relevant to the present case [was] near at hand,” the court stated:

“The petition for certiorari. . . raised two issues of which only one may be marginally relevant to the present case. This court has no way of knowing which issue prompted the Court to grant certiorari. Thus the ends of justice would not be served by revisiting the issue.” 818 F. 2d 749, 751 (CA11 1987).

Plainly, any doubt that the Court of Appeals had about which issue prompted the Court to grant certiorari should have been resolved in favor of the defendant facing the death penalty. Moreover, given that this Court may restrict its grant of certiorari to those questions it wishes to hear, it seems to me most inappropriate for the court to have engaged in speculation about the possible insignificance of our grant on one of the questions in Tucker’s petition.

The relationship between the questions presented by Tucker and Thompson justifies delaying consideration of the former on the ground that it will be illuminated by the disposition of the latter. I dissent.

       Among the questions presented in Thompson is:
      “May admission of inflammatory evidence [¿ e., two photos of murder victim] in capital case against 16 year old defendant be deemed harmless error merely because of strong evidence of guilt, when such evidence also prejudices defendant’s right to. fair, full jury consideration of all mitigating circumstances — including age-vduring death penalty deliberations?” Pet. for Cert. in No. 86-6169, p. 2.

       It is true /hat in Thompson the court below found that admission of the photographs /at issue was error, but harmless, while here the court found no error in the/admission of the photographs. 724 P. 2d 780 (Okla. Crim. App. 1986). This difference is not significant. In Thompson, in order to overturn the state/feourt’s determination of harmless error, we would have to find both that the’admission of the photographs at issue violated the defendant’s due process rights under the Federal, Constitution, and that the error was not harmless. In order to overtum-'ihe state court’s determination that no error occurred in Tucker, we would have to find only the first of these, namely that the admission of the photographs at issue violated these same federal constitutional rights. Plainly,/any standard we might develop in deciding whether sufficient prejudice qxisted to render an error harmful would be applicable in a decision whether' sufficient possibility of prejudice existed to render admission of evidence, error. The possibility that the analysis in Thompson will shed light on Tucker is therefore sufficient to justify a hold.
