How the opinion begins
Douglas, J.
The case before this court presents a number of issues for our determination. (See Appendix, infra.) We have considered appellant’s propositions of law, independently weighed the aggravating circumstances against mitigating factors and considered whether the penalty imposed in this case is disproportionate to penalties imposed in similar cases. Upon review, and for the reasons that [*140] follow, we uphold appellant’s conviction and affirm the sentence of death.
