Description
MONTIEL, JUDGE On the morning of January 24, 1977, the bodies of Jesse and Irene Doughty were discovered in their home. Both victims had
died as a result of gunshot wounds. On November 18, 1985, the appellant was indicted in a three-count indictment on three
charges of capital murder. Count I charged murder wherein two or more persons are killed, § 13-11-2(a)(10), Code
of Alabama 1975 (repealed); count II charged murder committed during the course of a robbery, § 13-11-2(a)(2), Code
of Alabama 1975 (repealed); and count III charged murder done for pecuniary gain or other valuable consideration, §
13-11-2(a)(7), Code of Alabama 1975 (repealed) 1 . In 1986, the appellant was tried and convicted, and was sentenced to
death. On March 17, 1989, this court affirmed the appellant's conviction and sentence in Frazier v. State, 562 So. 2d 543
(Ala. Crim. App. 1989). On November 17, 1989, the Alabama Supreme Court held that a key witness for the State had perjured
himself at the appellant's trial and that court reversed this court's judgment and remanded the cause for a new trial. In
June 1990, the appellant was again tried for capital murder and was found guilty of all three counts. The trial court sentenced
the appellant to death. He appeals from that conviction and sentence.
