Oyola v. State
Annotate this CaseAppellant was convicted of first-degree murder, false imprisonment as a lesser included offense of kidnapping, armed robbery with a deadly weapon, and grand theft of a motor vehicle. A jury recommended a sentence of death. The trial court accepted that recommendation and sentenced Appellant to death. The Supreme Court affirmed the findings and underlying judgment of guilty in the trial court but reversed and remanded for the limited purpose of requiring the trial court to perform a new sentencing evaluation because the analysis of the mitigating circumstances in the trial court's sentencing order did not meet the requirements articulated in Campbell v. State.
