Description
The appellant, Larry Wayne Whitehead, was convicted of three counts of capital murder in connection with the murder of Ernest Andrew Whitten. The murder was made capital (1) because it was committed during a burglary in the first degree, see § 13A-5-40(a)(4), Ala. Code 1975; (2) because Whitten, at the time of his murder, had testified before a grand jury that had indicted Whitehead for theft in the first degree, see § 13A-5-40(a)(14), Ala. Code 1975; and (3) because Whitten, at the time of his murder, had been subpoenaed to testify at Whitehead's trial on the theft charge, see § 13A-5-40(a)(14), Ala. Code 1975. By a vote of 12-0, the jury recommended that Whitehead be sentenced to death. The trial court accepted the jury's recommendation and sentenced Whitehead to death. This appeal followed.
