Summary

The Court affirmed Roger DeGarmo's capital murder conviction and death sentence, holding that his admission of guilt at the punishment stage waived any challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence, that the co-defendant's plea bargain did not violate due process or the Eighth Amendment, and that the special issue wording error was harmless.
