Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

concluding that the multiple- homicides aggravator outweighed evidence of a “horren- dous childhood”
noting the aggravating factor of committing multiple murders during the commission of the offense is “extraordinarily weighty”
finding horrendous childhood less weighty and not sufficiently substantial to call for leniency, in part, because not tied to the offense
trial court’s decision to admit evidence will not be disturbed on appeal absent abuse of discretion
weight of “horrendous” 5 childhood lessened where defendant was 30 years old at time of the murder.
upholding death sentence despite evidence of childhood abuse
