1Opinion of the CourtMiller, Chief Justice
[¶ 1.] Donald Moeller was previously tried, convicted and sentenced to death for the 1990 rape and murder of Rebecca O’Connell. We reversed that conviction in State v. Moeller, 1996 SD 60, 548 N.W.2d 465 (Moeller I). At his second trial Moel-ler was again convicted of first-degree rape and first-degree murder and was sentenced to death.
