Description
On October 1, 1998, a jury sitting in the Court of Common Pleas of Delaware County convicted appellant of first-degree murder, rape, aggravated assault, kidnapping, and abuse of corpse in connection with the killing of Aimee Willard. At the penalty hearing, the jury found three aggravating circumstances: the killing was committed during the perpetration of a felony, the defendant has a significant history of felony convictions involving the use or threat of violence to the person, and the defendant has been convicted of another murder committed in any jurisdiction and committed either before or at the time of the offense at issue. The jury found one mitigating circumstance: any other evidence of mitigation concerning the character and record of the defendant and the circumstances of his offense. The jury determined that the aggravating circumstances outweighed the mitigating circumstance and accordingly returned a sentence of death. On December 4, 1998, the trial court formally imposed the death sentence. In addition, the trial court ruled that appellant was a high-risk, dangerous offender pursuant to the then-governing provisions of 42 Pa.C.S. § 9714. Accordingly, the trial court sentenced appellant to consecutive terms of 10 to 20 years imprisonment on the rape conviction and 10 to 20 years imprisonment on the kidnapping conviction. The trial court also sentenced appellant to 1 to 2 years consecutive imprisonment on the abuse of corpse conviction.
