Summary

The Court affirmed the death sentence, holding that the evidence was sufficient to support the capital murder conviction, the indictment’s due‑diligence requirement was satisfied, and the jury charge in the disjunctive was proper. It also rejected the appellant’s ineffective‑assistance, due‑process, and juror‑challenge claims. Three concurring opinions joined the judgment, each commenting on the majority’s reasoning.
