Heading: the sentence of death is disproportionate to the crime for which pinkney was convicted.

Text: The sentence of death is not disproportionate under Section 99-19-105, Mississippi Code Annotated (1972), as Amended, in that the evidence shows that Pinkney deliberately committed this heinous crime. There is no evidence that Pinkney suffers from any mental aberration nor does it appear that he acted out of fear for his life when he killed Hickman. See Edwards v. State, 441 So.2d 84 (Miss. 1983); Coleman v. State, 378 So.2d 640 (Miss. 1979). There is no merit to this assignment of error as to guilt. CONVICTION OF CAPITAL MURDER AND SENTENCE OF DEATH AFFIRMED. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1989, SET AS DATE FOR EXECUTION OF SENTENCE IN THE MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. ROY NOBLE LEE, C.J., DAN M. LEE, P.J., and PRATHER, ROBERTSON and ZUCCARO, JJ., concur as to guilt phase. ROBERTSON, J., dissents as to sentencing phase. HAWKINS, P.J., and ANDERSON and GRIFFIN, JJ., not participating.
