• holding a finding of sexual abuse to be an objective factor which constitutionally and appropriately narrows the definition of the first prong of (l)(d)
• holding, among other things, that sexual abuse during the commission of a murder is a constitutionally permissible objective identifier of the existence of “especially heinous” conduct, and that the Nebraska Supreme Court had so narrowed the statute
• \We recognize the heavy burden the state bears in proving that a constitutional error is harmless beyond a reasonable doubt.\
