State v. McKnight

Ohio Supreme Court

Decided November 30, 2005No. 2002-2130PublishedCited by 300 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtAlice Robie Resnick, J.

{¶ 1} Gregory McKnight, defendant-appellant, was convicted of the murder of Gregory Julious and the aggravated murder of Emily Murray and was sentenced to death. In this appeal, appellant raises 30 propositions of law. We find that none of his propositions of law have merit and affirm appellant’s convictions. We have also independently weighed the aggravating circumstances against the mitigating factors and have compared appellant’s sentence of death to those imposed in similar cases, as R.C. 2929.05(A) requires. As a result, we affirm appellant’s sentence of death.
