on lifetime parole from New York.

B. At the time of the commission of the present homicide,

- ROBERT BRIAN WATERHOUSE was previously convicted of the said New

York felony involving the use or threat of violence to the victim of

purpose of avoiding or preventing a lawful arrest in that the victim

_in the instant case was killed in order to eliminate her as a witness

Po ieetaees

wo ¢
E. The Murder was committed by ROBERT BRIAN WATERHOUSE

in an extremely wicked, outrageous, shocking, evil, and vile
manner, and in a way designed to inflict 4 high degree of pain
upon the victin with utter indifference to the suffering of the

victim, and, therefore, was especially heinous, atrocious, and

cruel.

MITIGATING CIRCUMSTANCES

APPLICATION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME IN WHICH
TO PILE PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI
AND PERMISSION TO FILE A SUBSTITUTE PETITION

To the Honorable Lewis F. Powell, Jr., Associate
Justice of the United States and Circuit Justice for the
Eleventh Circuit:

Petitioner Robert B. Waterhouse prays that an
order be entered further extending the time for filing a
petition for writ of certiorari to and including August 25,
1983. This application is being submitted together with a
Petition for a Writ of Certiorari in order to preserve
petitioner's constitutional issues. The reasons for this
extraordinary request are set forth below at p. 3. The

relevant dates for this application for extension are:

April 27, 1983: Petition for rehearing denied by

the Supreme Court of Florida.

June 27, 1983 (June 26 is a Sunday): Expiration
of time for filing petition for writ of certiorari in this
Court, unless extended.

July 26, 1983: © Expiration of requested 30-day
extension of time for filing a petition in this Court.

July 26, 1983: Time for filing per Order Ex-
tending Time to File Petition for Writ of Certiorari, dated
June 17, 1983, by Justice Lewis PF. Powell, Jr.

No opinion was rendered by the Supreme Court of
Plorida in the course of denying the petition for rehearing.
The pertinent nature of the petitioner's case is as follows:

1. Petitioner was sentenced to death in 1980 in
the Circuit Court for Pinellas County, Florida, after a
trial and sentencing hearing before a jury.

2. On February 17, 1983, the Supreme Court of
Plorida in a per curiam opinion affirmed the conviction of
murder in the first degree and sentence of death, overruling
Petitioner's constitutional contentions that (a) his state-
ments should have been excluded from evidence on the grounds
that (i) they were obtained as the result of an illegal ar-
rest or detention, (ii) they were obtained after he had ex-
pressed his intention to remain silent, (iii) his final
statement was obtained in an interview conducted without
notice to his court-appointed attorney, and (iv) there was
no showing that the statements were made voluntarily;

(b) tangible evidence seized from his car should have been
excluded on the grounds that the evidence was obtained as

the result of an illegal arrest or detention and of a search

made without probable cause or search warrant; (c) evidence

of Petitioner's alleged use of marijuana and an alleged
homosexual rape attempt should have been excluded on grounds
of lack of relevance; (d) the evidence was insufficient to
support a finding that a capital felony had been committed
by Petitioner for the purpose of avoiding or preventing a
lawful arrest or a finding that the capital felony was par-
ticularly heinous, atrocious, and cruel; (e) the trial judge
erred in basing two of the aggravating circumstances on a
single prior act of Petitioner; and (f) involuntary sexual
battery was an essential element of the homicide and, as
such, could be used as an aggravating circumstance.

This Court's jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1257(3)
will be invoked.

This extension of time and permission to substi-
tute a final Petition is requested since (1) the undersigned
were ordered by the petitioner, Robert B. Waterhouse, today
by telephone not to file the Petition for a Writ of Certio-
rari, which accompanies this Application, on the grounds
that he has not reviewed and approved the final version of
the Petition to be filed; (2) petitioner wishes to have an
extension of time to be able to review the final version
before it is filed; (3) petitioner has refused to sign an
affidavit for the Motion to Proceed in Forma Pauperis until
he has reviewed the draft and approved its filing, (4)
petitioner indicates that he will write the Supreme Court to
have the Petition withdrawn if he does not receive the op-
portunity to review and approve; and (5) the gravity of the
death penalty warrants the provision of sufficient extra
time to enable petitioner to review the Petition and suggest
any reasonable changes. Extension of the time for filing to

August 25, 1983, would provide enough time to accomplish the

tasks mentioned above.

Since Petitioner continues to be incarcerated in

the Florida State Prison, no prejudice to the State's con-

cerns can result from an additional 30-day extension of time

requested.

Wherefore, Petitioner respectfully requests an

order extending the time for filing a petition for writ of

certiorari to and including August 25, 1983.
