The court found beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant knew May was dead at the time he entered into the plea agreement with the district attorney. Thus we find that the defendant's contention is without merit. denied, 479 U.S. 887, 107 S. Ct. 282, 93 L. Ed. [29] The defendant's allocution here consisted of a short statement in which he acknowledged his guilt and asked the jury that it sentence him to life imprisonment.

If the language is ambiguous, we consider its legislative history, the state of the law prior to enactment, the problem addressed, and the statutory remedy. There are no other statutory provisions applicable. The paragraph explaining step three of the jury's deliberations stated in pertinent part "[i]f and only if the jury finds that one or more specified aggravating factors outweigh the mitigating factors, the jury then should proceed to the fourth step." (v. 17, p. 445) Thus the prosecutor here cannot be said to have engaged in an overzealous effort to include on the jury only persons who supported capital punishment without reservation. We disagree with the defendant's interpretation of the prior decisions of this court and hold that the exclusion of jurors on the basis of their scruples regarding the death penalty is governed by the standards enunciated by the Supreme Court in Witt. The defendant argues that the trial court erred by instructing the jury in accordance with the language of section 16-11-103(2)(a)(II) that it could consider death as a penalty for the defendant only if it found that "[n]o mitigating factor or factors outweigh the aggravating factor or factors found to exist beyond a reasonable doubt." 486 U.S. at 364, 108 S. Ct. at 1859. 7 told the jury that it "must now decide whether the defendant should be sentenced to death or life imprisonment."

In this case, however, the jury was explicitly instructed to follow a four-step process, which included an additional step requiring the jury to determine whether any mitigating factors existed. Angelus Chapel Funeral Directors and Cremation Services. 2d 186, 193 (Fla. 1984) (same); State v. Goodman, 298 N.C. 1, 257 S.E.2d 569 (1979) (court holds that trial court erred in submitting to jury both the aggravator that the capital felony was committed to "disrupt or hinder the lawful exercise of any governmental function or the enforcement of laws," and the aggravator that it was committed "for the purpose of avoiding or preventing a lawful arrest"). (1986 & 1989 Supp. at 207. Online condolences and a full tribute are available at www.mem.com. Rather, the controlling standard is whether the juror is unable to set aside his or her beliefs and render a verdict based upon the evidence adduced at trial and the court's instructions on the law. The jury that hears the testimony and views the witnesses is uniquely able to make the difficult moral judgments required in weighing aggravating and mitigating factors and determining whether the death sentence is warranted. Bradbury's voir dire examination, considered in its totality, indicates that he viewed his task with the utmost seriousness and gravity and that he could consider the death penalty but most likely would not vote for it. E.g., Kotteakos v. United States, 328 U.S. 750, 764-65, 66 S. Ct. 1239, 1247-48, 90 L. Ed. The Supreme Court in Gregg rejected this very argument stating: Gregg, 428 U.S. at 199, 96 S. Ct. at 2937.

Cannister was convicted after a jury trial of three counts of first degree murder, but sentenced to LWOP before the penalty phase because of a Supreme Court ruling that said that jurors, and not judges, should make the sentencing decision. Her family is yet to talk on her death. Concerted action both increases the likelihood that the criminal object will be successfully attained and decreases the probability that the individuals involved will depart from their path of criminality. E.g., Kotteakos, 328 U.S. at 764-65, 66 S.Ct. The prosecution also shall be given an opportunity to be heard on any matter material to the imposition of sentence. The "doubling up" is improper, the defendant argues, because it allowed the prosecutor to characterize a single factual circumstance, the kidnapping and murder of May, as constituting two aggravators and thereby "artificially inflated" the aggravating factors and that this created a substantial risk that the death penalty would be imposed in an arbitrary and capricious manner, contrary to the command of Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U.S. 153, 189, 96 S. Ct. 2909, 2932, 49 L. Ed. The next paragraph explained that during the second step the jury must consider whether any mitigating factors exist. Third, the defendant challenges the application of our sentencing scheme in this particular case, arguing that several of the statutory aggravators relied upon by the prosecution were invalid and that the court improperly instructed the jury respecting several aspects of our sentencing scheme. Rptr. (v. 25, p. 219). In my view, the majority construes this provision not only in derogation of the constitutional requirement of narrowing the class of persons eligible for the death sentence but also in a manner contrary to basic rules of statutory construction. We do not believe that the legislature's failure to provide for such review violates this state's constitution. Because the defendant at the time he kidnapped and murdered the victim was on parole for first degree sexual assault, a class three felony, 18-3-402, 8B C.R.S. However, the defendant did not request a similar instruction during the sentencing phase and we do not believe that the judge was required sua sponte to give such an instruction. You're all set! A sentence of death cannot be carried out if the jury that imposed the sentence was chosen by excluding prospective jurors for cause simply because they voiced general objections to the death penalty or expressed some degree of conscientious reluctance to impose it. 563, 468 A.2d 45 (1983), cert. Terms, To the family of Ingrid Davis, so sorry for your loss. 528, 250 N.W.2d 867, 874 (1977); State v. Goodman, 298 N.C. 1, 257 S.E.2d 569, 587 (1979). Thus the terms "especially heinous, cruel or depraved" may sufficiently guide the jury if more narrowly limited in their scope. I know I keep going back and forth, but it would certainly have to be really. Michael Ondaatje Bearhug, We have previously engaged in this type of proportionality review, see Gutierrez, 622 P.2d 547, 556, and to an extent *174 are required to engage in such review pursuant to section 16-11-103(7)(a) and (b), 8A C.R.S. 1982), cert.

Brown, 860 F.2d 1545 (10th Cir.1988), a case heavily relied upon by the defendant in his challenge to the anti-sympathy instruction in this case.

[51] Further, as discussed above, our review of the record leads us to conclude beyond a reasonable doubt that had the heinous, cruel or depraved aggravator properly been narrowed by the trial court, the jury would have found that such aggravator had been proved beyond a reasonable doubt. In Georgia, unlike in Colorado, the existence of an aggravating factor is only utilized to narrow the class of death eligible persons. 1310, Audiotape of Hearing before Senate Judiciary Committee, 54th General Assembly, Second Session, February 29, 1984, 2:06 p.m. The death sentence should not "turn on the perception that the victim was a sterling member of the community rather than someone of questionable character."

Instruction No. There is no burden of proof as to proving or disproving mitigating factors and you should consider all of the evidence presented at the trial and the sentencing hearing as it relates to mitigating factors. This conclusion appears to contradict the majority's earlier determination that because the unconstitutional aggravator had not been so narrowed it was not possible to ascertain whether the jury's verdict in fact resulted from unbridled and unrestrained passion. 16-11-103(2), 8A C.R.S. You may also light a candle in honor of Ingrid Davis or send a beautiful flower arrangement to the funeral service.

Fourth, and finally, if the jury finds beyond a reasonable doubt that any mitigating factors do not outweigh the proven statutory aggravating factors, the jurors must then decide whether the prosecution has convinced each of them beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant should be sentenced to death. 3d 36, 201 Cal. The Supreme Court's decision in Clemons is dispositive of the defendant's assertion that the federal constitution requires that if we find a single aggravator to have been improperly submitted to the jury, we must reverse his sentence.
