Death penalty stands for Nathan Dunlap, who killed four - The Denver Post
Death penalty stands for Nathan Dunlap, who killed four - The Denver Post Nathan Dunlap, who killed four people at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in Aurora in 1993, lost his federal death-penalty appeal Tuesday. His attorneys will appeal the decision to the 10th Circuit Court. Dunlap filed a habeas corpus petition with the court in 2008 arguing that his trial attorney was ineffective for not presenting a defense on his childhood abuse and mental-health issues. "In the final analysis, Dunlap was competently represented, fairly tried, and duly sentenced to death for having committed four vicious murders of three teenagers and a mother of two children for no intelligible reason at all," wrote Senior U.S. District Judge John L. Kane. "The processes of the law have been exhausted, the defendant's guilt is uncontestable and the penalty . . . meets every requirement of the law." Felisa Cardona, The Denver Post
