Heading: Is the Death Sentence Imposed Upon Mr. Lockett Disproportionate and the Consequence of Emotion and Caprice?

Text: Having reviewed this case and compared it to other cases, we find that the sentence here is not excessive or disproportionate to the penalty imposed in similar cases. (See Appendix II). This assignment of error is denied. For all of the above noted reasons, we find no error in the trial below, having reviewed the record as submitted from the Circuit Court of Lamar County; therefore, we affirm the conviction of capital murder and sentence of death and set Wednesday, November 25, 1987, as the date for execution by lethal injection. AFFIRMED. WALKER, C.J., ROY NOBLE LEE and HAWKINS, P.JJ., and GRIFFIN, J. concur. PRATHER, SULLIVAN and ANDERSON, JJ., concur in part, dissent to part IV. ROBERTSON, J., concurs in part, dissents to parts I and IV.
