Overview: Because defendant's convictions on two counts of capital murder and the underlying felonies for each, a first-degree robbery and a first-degree burglary count respectively, violated the principles of double jeopardy, they were vacated. But, defendant's remaining capital and non-capital convictions, and the resulting death sentence, were affirmed.
