e defendant committed the offense in order to 
prevent or inhibit any person from testifying or providing 
information concerning an offense, or to retaliate against any 
person for testifying or providing such information. 
''(f) NOTICE OF INTENT TO SEEK DEATH PENALTY.—If the 
government intends to seek the death penalty for an offense under 
this section, the attorney for the government shall file with the 
court and serve on the defendant a notice of such intent. The 
notice shall be provided a reasonable time before the trial or accept-
ance of a guilty plea, or at such later time as the court may 
permit for good cause. The notice shall set forth the aggravating 
factor or factors set forth in subsection (e) and any other aggravating 
factor or factors that the government will seek to prove as the 
basis for the death penalty. The factors for which notice is provided 
under this subsection may include factors concerning the effect 
of the offense on the victim and the victim's family. The court 
may permit the attorney for the government to amend the notice 
upon a showing of good cause. 
"'(g) JUDGE AND JURY AT CAPITAL SENTENCING HEARING.— 
A hearing to determine whether the death penalty will be imposed 
for an offense under this section shall be conducted by the judge 
who presided at trial or accepted a guilty plea, or by another 
judge if that judge is not available. The hearing shall be conducted 
before the jury that determined the defendant's guilt if that jury 
is available. A new jury shall be impaneled for the purpose of 
the hearing if the deiendant pleaded guilty, the trial of guilt was 
conducted without a jury, the jury that determined the defendant's 
guilt was discharged for good cause, or reconsideration of the sen-
tence is necessary after the initial imposition of a sentence of 
death. A jury impaneled imder this subsection shall have 12 mem-
bers unless the parties stipulate to a lesser number at any time 
before the conclusion of the hearing with the approval of the court. 
Upon motion of the defendant, with the approval of the attorney 
for the government, the hearing shall be carried out before the 
judge without a jury. If there is no jury, references to "the jury" 
in this section, where applicable, shall be understood as referring 
to the judge. 
"'(h) PROOF OF MITIGATING AND AGGRAVATING FACTORS.—NO 
presentence report shall be prepared if a capital sentencing hearing 
is held under this section. Any information relevant to the existence 
of mitigating factors, or to the existence of aggravating factors 
for which notice has been provided under subsection (f), may be 
presented by either the government or the defendant, regardless 
PUBLIC LAW 102-382—OCT. 5, 1992 
106 STAT. 1439 
of its admissibility under the rules governing the admission of 
evidence at criminal trials, except that information may be excluded 
if its probative value is outweighed by the danger of creating 
unfair prejudice, confusing the issues, or misleading the jury. The 
information presented may include trial transcripts and esdiibits. 
The attorney for the government and for the defendant shall be 
permitted to rebut any information received at the hearing, and 
shall be given fair opportunity to present argument as to the 
adequacy of the information to establish the existence of any 
aggravating or mitigating factor, and as to the appropriateness 
in that case of imposing a sentence of death. The attorney for 
the government shall open the argument, the defendant shall be 
permitted to reply, and the government shall then be permitted 
to reply in rebuttal. 
*(i) FINDINGS OF AGGRAVATING AND MITIGATING FACTORS.— 
The jury shall return special findings identifying any aggravating 
factor or factors for which notice has been provided imder subsection 
(f) and which the jury unanimously determines have been estab-
lished by the government beyond a reasonable doubt. A mitigating 
factor is established if the defendant has proven its existence by 
a preponderance of the evidence, and any member of the jury 
who finds the existence of such a factor may regard it as established 
for piirposes of this section regardless of the number of jurors 
who concur that the factor has been established. 
"*(i) FINDING CONCERNING A SENTENCE OF DEATH.—If the jury 
specially finds iinder subsection (i) that 1 or more aggravating 
factors set forth in subsection (e) exist, and the jury fumier finds 
imanimously that there are no mitigating factors or that the 
aggravating factor or factors specially found under subsection (i) 
outweigh any mitigating factors, the jury shall recommend a sen-
tence of death. In any other case, the jury shall not recommend 
a sentence of death. The jury shall be instructed that it must 
avoid any influence of sympathy, sentiment, passion, prejudice, 
or other arbitrary factors in its decision, and should make such 
a recommendation as the information warrants. 
"'(k) SPECIAL PRECAUTION TO ASSURE AGAINST DISCRIMINA-
TION.—In a hearing held before a jury, the court, before the return 
of a finding under subsection (j), shall instruct the jury that, in 
considering whether to recommend a sentence of death, it shall 
not consider the race, color, religion, national origin, or sex of 
the defendant or any victim, and that the jury is not to recommend 
a sentence of death unless it h£is concluded that it would recommend 
a sentence of death for such a crime regardless of the race, color, 
religion, national origin, or sex of the defendant or any victim. 
The jury, upon the return of a finding under subsection (j), shall 
also return to the court a certificate, signed by each juror, that 
the race, color, religion, national origin, or sex of the defendant 
or any victim did not affect the juror's individual decision and 
that tne individual juror would have recommended the same sen-
tence for such a crime regardless of the race, color, religion, national 
origin, or sex of the defendant or any victim.

dures employed in the sentencing hearing, and the special 
findings returned under subsection (i). The court of appeals

of death was not imposed under the influence of passion, preju-
dice, or any other arbitrary factor, that the evidence and 
information support the special findings imder subsection (i), 
and that the proceedings were otherwise free of prejudicial 
error that was properly preserved for review. 
*
* '(3) In any other case, the court of appeals shall remand 
the case for reconsideration of the sentence or imposition of 
another authorized sentence as appropriate, except that the 
court shall not reverse a sentence of death on the groimd 
that an a^^gravating factor was invalid or was not supported 
by the evidence and information if at least one aggravating 
factor described in subsection (e) remains which was found 
to exist and the court, on the basis of the evidence submitted 
at trial and the information submitted at the sentencing hear-
ing, finds that the remaining aggravating factor or factors 
that were found to exist outweigh any mitigating factors. The 
court of appeals shall state in writing the reasons for its disposi-
tion of an appeal of a sentence of death imder this section, 
"'(n) IMPLEMENTATION OF SENTENCE OF DEATH.—A person sen-
tenced to death under this section shall be committed to the custody 
of the Attorney Greneral until exhaustion of the procedures for 
appeal of the judgment of conviction and review or the sentence. 
When the sentence is to be implemented, the Attorney General

United States Marshal. The Marshal shall supervise implementa-
tion of the sentence in the manner prescribed by the law of a 
State designated by the court. The Marshal may use State or

ANTS.—A defendant against whom a sentence of death is sought, 
or on whom a sentence of death has been imposed, imder this

of title 11 of the District of Columbia Code (D.C. Code 11-2601 
et seq.), and at least one counsel so appointed shall continue to 
represent the defendant until the conclusion of direct review of

of appeals or the Supreme Court, the government shall promptly 
notify the court that imposed the sentence. The court, within 10 
days of receipt of such notice, shall proceed to make determination 
whether the defendant is eligible for appointment of counsel for 
subsequent proceedings. The court shall issue an order appointing 
one or more counsel to represent the defendant upon a finding 
that the defendant is fin£incially unable to obtain adequate rep-
resentation and wishes to have coimsel appointed or is unable 
competently to decide whether to accept or reject appointment of 
counsel. The court shall issue an order den3dng appointment of 
coimsel upon a finding that the defendant is financially able to 
obtain adequate representation or that the defendant rejected 
appointment of counsel with an imderstanding of the consequences 
of that decision. Counsel appointed pursuant to this subsection

at trial and on direct review unless the defendant and counsel 
request a continuation or renewal of the earlier representation.

after judgment, at least one counsel so appointed must have been 
admitted to the bar for at least 5 years and have at least 3 
years of experience in the litigation of felony cases in the Federal 
courts of appeals or the Supreme Court. The court, for good cause,

background, knowledge, or experience would otherwise enable him 
or her to properly represent tne defendant, with due consideration 
of the seriousness of the penalty and the nature of the litigation.

PROCEEDINGS.—^The ineffectiveness or incompetence of counsel dur-
ing proceedings on a motion under section 23-110 of the District 
of Cfolumbia Code in a case under this section shall not be a 
ground for relief from the judgment or sentence in any proceeding. 
106 STAT. 1442 
PUBLIC LAW 102-382—OCT. 5,1992 
This limitation shall not preclude the appointment of different 
counsel at any stage of the proceedings.

attacking a sentence of death under this section, or the conviction 
on which it is predicated, shall be filed within 90 days of the 
issuance of the order under subsection (r) appointing or denying 
the appointment of counsel for such proceedings. The court in 
which the motion is filed, for good cause shown, may extend the

23-110 of the District of Columbia Code within the time speci-
fied in subsection (u), or fails to make a timely application 
for court of appeals review following the denial of such a motion 
by a district court; 
*
* '(2) upon completion of district court and court of appeals 
review under section 23-110 of the District of Columbia Code, 
the Supreme Court disposes of a petition for certiorari in a 
manner that leaves the capital sentence undisturbed, or the 
defendant fails to file a timely petition for certiorari; or 
"'(3) before a district court, in the presence of coimsel 
and edfter having been advised of the consequences of such 
a decision, the defendant waives the right to file a motion 
under section 23-110 of the District of Columbia Code. 
"'(w) FINALITY OF THE DECISION ON REVIEW.—If one of 
the 
conditions specified in subsection (v) has occurred, no court there-
after shall nave the authority to enter a stay of execution or 
grant relief in the case unless— 
'''(1) the basis for the stay and request for relief is a 
claim not presented in earlier proceedings; 
"'(2) the failiire to raise the claim is the result of govern-
mental action in violation of the Constitution or laws of the 
United Stetes, the result of the Supreme Court's recognition 
of a new Federal right that is retroactively applicable, or the 
result of the fact that the factual predicate of the claim could 
not have been discovered through the exercise of reasonable 
diligence in time to present the claim in earlier proceedings; 
and 
***(3) the facts underlying the claim would be sufficient, 
if proven, to undermine the court's confidence in the determina-
tion of guilt on the offense or ofTenses for which the death 
penalW was imposed.
