2 Maurice Schick Biographies

In 1954, Master Sergeant Maurice L. Schick was convicted by a military court-martial in the brutal murder of an eight-year old girl, and sentenced to death. Six years later, the case was forwarded to Pres. Eisenhower for final review, and he commuted his sentence to confinement at hard labor for the term of his natural life, on the express condition that he "shall never have any rights, privileges, claims or benefits arising under the parole and suspension or remission of sentence laws of the United States . . ." Schick began a legal challenge in 1971 which eventually reached the Supreme Court, questioning the constitutionality of his punishment: life imprisonment without parole. The court decided that to be so sentenced was constitutional, though Schick's sentence was given only cursory mention.
Maurice Schick of Oak Lawn, Cook County, Illinois was born on April 17, 1892, and died at age 87 years old in October 1979.
