Kenneth Eugene Billups was convicted of capital murder for the killing of Stevon Lockett. The murder was made capital because it was committed during the course of a first-degree robbery. See § 13A-5-40(a)(2), Ala.Code 1975. After a sentencing hearing, the jury, by a vote of 7-5, recommended that Billups be sentenced to imprisonment for life without the possibility of parole. The trial court overrode the jury’s recommendation and sentenced Billups to death. Billups filed a *1081motion for a new trial, which the trial court denied. An appeal to the Court of Criminal Appeals followed.
