Description
STEAGALL, JUSTICE. Magwood was indicted for the offense of robber when the victim is intentionally killed. Code 1975, § 13A-5-31 (a) (2) (Supp. 1978) (repealed 1981). 1 He was arraigned and pleaded not guilty. A jury found him guilty of the capital offense charged in the indictment. A sentencing hearing was held in accordance with Beck v. State, 396 So.2d 645 (Ala. 1980), and the jury fixed appellant's punishment at death. Thereafter, the trial court held another sentencing hearing and, after weighing the aggravating and mitigating circumstances and considering the jury's recommendation of death, sentenced Magwood to death by electrocution. The Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed the conviction and later overruled the application for rehearing. We granted certiorari as a matter of right. Rule 39(c), A.R.A.P.
