Heading: Glock's Penalty Phase

Text: In the penalty phase, Glock claims that the trial court erred in (1) failing to sever his sentencing hearing from Puiatti's; (2) finding the aggravating circumstance of cold, calculated, and premeditated; (3) failing to find as a mitigating circumstance Glock's cooperation with the police and his potential for rehabilitation; and (4) instructing the jurors and receiving their penalty recommendation on a Sunday. For the reasons expressed previously in this opinion, we find that Glock was not entitled to a severance of his sentencing hearing; that cold and calculating was a proper aggravating circumstance; and that it was not error to instruct the jurors and receive their penalty recommendation on Sunday. Further, as with Puiatti, we find that the trial court considered the mitigating factors applying to Glock, but concluded they failed to rise to a sufficient level to be weighed as mitigating circumstances. Accordingly, we affirm imposition of the death penalty for Glock.
