BASCHAB, Presiding Judge.
The appellant, Jason Michael Sharp, was convicted of capital murder for the killing of Tracy Lynn Morris. The murder was made capital because he committed it during the course of a rape or an attempted rape, a violation of § 13A-5-40(a)(8), Ala. Code 1975. After a sentencing hearing, by a vote of 11-1, the jury recommended that he be sentenced to death. The trial court accepted the jury’s recommendation and sentenced him to death. The appellant filed a motion for a new trial, which was denied by operation of law. See Rule 24.4, Ala. R.Crim. P. This appeal followed.
