Delgado v. State
Annotate this CaseAfter a jury trial, Defendant was convicted of, among other crimes, first-degree felony murder for the murder of a police officer. Defendant was sentenced to death for the murder. Defendant raised three issues on appeal, his primary argument being that his death sentence was disproportionate. The Supreme Court affirmed the convictions but reversed Defendant’s sentence of death, holding that the death penalty was disproportionate under the facts presented here, as this was not one of the most aggravated and least mitigated of capital murders. Remanded to the trial court with directions to impose a life sentence.
