1Opinion of the Court
HUNSTEIN, Justice.
A jury convicted Donnie Allen Hulett of two counts of malice murder and numerous related crimes, and Hulett waived his right to a jury trial as to sentencing for the murders. At the conclusion of a bench trial on sentencing, the trial court found the existence of multiple statutory aggravating circumstances and sentenced Hulett to death for each of the murders. See OCGA §§ 17-10-30 (b), 17-10-31 (a). Hulett’s motion for new trial was denied, and he appeals his convictions and sentences. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm in part and vacate in part.
