Vasquez v. Hillery Vasquez v. Hillery, 474 U.S. 254 (1986) is a United States Supreme Court case. An African-American man named Booker T. Hillery was convicted for murder by a California grand jury in 1962. Hillery was accused of stabbing fifteen-year-old girl named Marlene Miller with scissors in the small town of Hanford. Miller was said to be sewing a dress alone in the house and did not notice an intruder sneaking into the household. The perpetrator fought with the young woman and hogtied her and stabbed her chest. Deputies came on to the crime scene; with evidence and a witness, all fingers pointed to Booker T. Hillery, who was on parole for rape at the time. Hillery pleaded he was innocent, but he was indicted by a California grand jury and subsequently convicted. However, members of his own race were systematically excluded from the indicting grand jury, suggesting that the defendant was singled out for murder due to his criminal past and race. This caused Booker T. Hillery to seek petitions for a retrial.

List of Olympic venues in figure skating For the Summer and Winter Olympics, there are 27 venues that have been or will be used for figure skating. This is one of two sports in the Winter Olympics to debut in the Summer Olympics with ice hockey being the other. The first venue for the event took place during the 1908 Games was held indoors. Twelve years later, the venue joined ice hockey as another Winter Olympic sport in the Summer Olympics. For the first two Winter Olympics, figure skating was held outdoors. With figure skating being held outdoors, there were weather concerns with thawing for the first two Winter Games. A suggestion by International Olympic Committee President Count Henri de Baillet-Latour to 1932 Olympic Organizing Committee President Godfrey Dewey in September 1930 led Dewey to create the first indoor arena for the Winter Olympics. For the 1936 Games, the venue was covered partially. Following World War II, the 1948 venue became the first venue to be used twice at the Winter Olympics since it had been used twenty years earlier. Figure skating's final competition that took place outdoors was in 1956 though that venue has since had a roof added to it. Since 1960, all figure skating competitions have taken place indoors.
