Any
person who has been indicted for an offense punishable by death may enter a plea
of guilty at any time after his indictment, and the judge of the superior court
having jurisdiction may, in his discretion, sentence the person to life
imprisonment or to any other punishment authorized by law for the offense named
in the indictment; provided, however, that the judge must find one of the
statutory aggravating circumstances provided in Code Section 17-10-30 before
imposing the death penalty, except in cases of treason or aircraft hijacking.
