Description
Defendant was indicted for the murder of his estranged wife, Shirlene Baker; first-degree kidnapping; and robbery with a dangerous weapon. He was tried capitally for the murder and found guilty on the theory of premeditation and deliberation. In accordance with the jury's unanimous recommendation following a capital sentencing proceeding pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 15A-2000, defendant was sentenced to death. Defendant was also convicted of first-degree kidnapping, for which he was sentenced to a twelve-year term of imprisonment consecutive to his death sentence, and of common-law robbery, for which he was sentenced to a three-year term of imprisonment consecutive to the twelve-year term. For the reasons set out herein, we conclude the jury selection and guilt-innocence phases of defendant's trial were free from prejudicial error. However, on account of error in the sentencing proceeding we remand for a new capital sentencing proceeding.
