twitterMan loses appeal of death sentence imposed for Vegas murder
Tuesday, July 25, 2000 | 1:52 a.m.
The high court ruled Monday against Frederick Paine, who argued he wasn't aware that the prospect of a death sentence was far greater with a panel of judges than it would have been with a jury.
Paine pleaded guilty to fatally shooting cabdriver Kenneth Marcum during a robbery in Las Vegas in 1990. Because he pleaded guilty, Paine's sentence was handed down by a panel of judges instead of a jury.
That death sentence was later overturned, and Paine then tried to withdraw his guilty plea. The courts refused to allow that, and he was sentenced to death a second time by another three-judge panel.
