Mr. Justice Schaefer, dissenting: In my opinion, the decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States in Boulden v. Holman (1969), 394 U.S. 478, 22 L. Ed. 2d 433, 89 S. Ct. 1138, and Maxwell v. Bishop (1970), 398 U.S. 262, 26 L. Ed. 2d 221, 90 S. Ct. 1578, require the conclusion that the jury which imposed the death sentences in this case was not selected in accordance with the standards laid down in Witherspoon v. Illinois (1968), 391 U.S. 510, 20 L. Ed. 2d 776, 88 S. Ct. 1770, and those sentences cannot constitutionally stand.
