Heading: The actions of the prosecution at the penalty phase denied Cabello a fair and reliable sentencing hearing.

Text: During the sentencing phase, Cabello contends that the trial judge erred when he admitted evidence of Cabello's 1955 conviction for armed robbery; permitted the prosecution to indulge in closing arguments, characterized as travasties [sic] of the privilege of counsel; and admitted Dr. McLees' testimony. The Court fully addressed these allegations in Cabello, 471 So.2d at 346-7, 349 and Sections II.(C) and III., supra. Additionally, Cabello contends that the trial judge erred when he allowed the prosecution to lead its witnesses. Cabello's failure to object at trial and/or to raise the issues on direct appeal constituted a waiver. In each instance, error is denied. § 99-39-21(1) and (3).
