Oyola v. State
Annotate this CaseDefendant was convicted of first-degree murder, false imprisonment, armed robbery with a deadly weapon, and grand theft of a motor vehicle. Defendant was sentenced to death for the murder conviction. The Supreme Court affirmed the convictions but reversed and remanded the original sentencing order on the basis that it violated Campbell v. State. The trial court subsequently issued a second revised sentencing order that again sentenced Defendant to death. Defendant appealed, arguing that he was entitled to a new penalty phase because the second revised sentencing order did not comport with the state’s capital sentencing statutory scheme. The Supreme Court reversed the remanded the second revised sentencing order, holding that it impermissibly relied on a nonstatutory aggravating factor and contained cumulative errors.
