Description

This cause is before us on remand from the Supreme Court of the United States. On August 21, 1979, the defendant was convicted of four counts of robbery, class A felonies; one count of attempted robbery, a class A felony; and one count of felony murder. For the latter offense the jury recommended, and the trial court ordered, the death penalty. The convictions and death sentence were affirmed on direct appeal. Daniels v. State (1983), Ind., 453 N.E.2d 160. In a subsequent proceeding, Daniels v. State (1988), Ind., 528 N.E.2d 775, we affirmed the denial of appellants petition for post-conviction relief, but the Supreme Court granted certiorari, Daniels v. Indiana (1989), 491 U.S. 902, 109 S. Ct. 3182, 105 L. Ed. 2d 691, and remanded to this Court for reconsideration in light of South Carolina v. Gathers (1989), 490 U.S. 805, 109 S. Ct. 2207, 104 L. Ed. 2d 876. Both Gathers and the present case involve whether a death sentence is impaired by penalty phase prosecutorial statements concerning personal characteristics of the victim.
