Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit May 8, 1998, No. 96-99022 (Vickers v. Stewart)

. SCHROEDER, Circuit Judge:

Appellant Robert Vickers was an inmate on Arizona’s death row when he burned a fellow inmate to death by splashing burning liquid through the food slot of the victim’s cell. Vickers started the fire with an incendiary device he created by pouring bottles of hair tonic into an empty ice cream container, stuffing a tissue inside and lighting it.
