1Opinion of the Court
Benham, Justice.
Appellant was sentenced to death after being convicted by a Floyd County jury of murder and theft. The murder victim was a man with whom Moore was living temporarily. The State presented evidence that Moore used a hammer and sledgehammer to bludgeon the victim, then took four dollars from the victim’s wallet, and stole the victim’s car. Moore was arrested in Arizona three days later. The evidence was sufficient to authorize a rational trier of fact to find appellant guilty of murder and two counts of theft by taking. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560)…
