Heading: Enmund-Tison findings

Text: ¶ 68 Anderson argues that he was entitled to Enmund-Tison findings before sentencing on his felony murder convictions. A defendant cannot be sentenced to death for felony murder unless he personally killed, attempted to kill, or intended that lethal force be employed, Enmund v. Florida, 458 U.S. 782, 797, 102 S.Ct. 3368, 73 L.Ed.2d 1140 (1982), or was a major participant in the underlying felony and acted with reckless indifference to human life, Tison v. Arizona, 481 U.S. 137, 158, 107 S.Ct. 1676, 95 L.Ed.2d 127 (1987). In this case, the jury returned separate unanimous verdicts finding Anderson guilty of both first-degree premeditated murder and first-degree felony murder as to each victim. In order to return a guilty verdict for first-degree premeditated murder, a jury must conclude that the defendant intended to kill the victim. A.R.S. § 13-1105(A)(1) (Supp.1996). Given the three premeditated murder verdicts, no further Enmund/Tison finding was necessary. State v. Styers, 177 Ariz. 104, 114, 865 P.2d 765, 775 (1993).
