Absolutely! I really hope when his sentence is being considered it is kept in mind that he also tried to hang the murder he committed on several completely innocent men.
I hope it is kept in mind that this was no crime of passion. It was premeditated murder for financial gain. I wonder if he could get the death penalty?
To be sentenced to death, the prosecutor has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that at least one of the following aggravating circumstances exist and that the mitigating circumstances don't outweigh these factors:
The Defendant:
1. Killed the victim while committing or attempting: arson, burglary, child molesting, kidnapping, rape, robbery, carjacking, or criminal gang activity
2. Killed by detonating an explosive intentionally
3. Murdered by "lying in wait"
4. Murdered for money or hired someone to kill
5. Was previously convicted of or committed murder
6. Was under the custody of the department of corrections or county sheriff, on felony probation, or on parole when the murder was committed
7. Burned, mutilated, or tortured the victim while alive or dismembered the victim
8. Intentionally fired a gun into a home or vehicle
It seems as though 3,4, & 8 could apply.
