Chuck E. Cheese Killer Gets A Stay Of Execution

DENVER (AP) ― The man sentenced to death for murdering four people at a restaurant in Aurora has been granted a temporary stay of execution.

Nathan Dunlap, 33, claims he didn't get a fair trial because his legal team was ineffective.

On Friday a U.S. district court judge granted the stay while Dunlap's case is reviewed. That could take nearly a year.

Dunlap was convicted of first-degree murder, attempted murder and other charges for shooting five people at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in Aurora in December 1993.

Four victims died. The survivor identified Dunlap as the killer.

He was sentenced to death 3 years after the crime.

The Colorado Supreme Court has upheld Dunlap's conviction and sentence three times.

The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the case last month.

In 1996, the families of the victims talked with CBS4 about their grief and the loved ones they lost. See the April 25 report and the April 26 report.
