1Opinion of the Court
YEASEY, Chief Justice.
Luis G. Cabrera was found guilty of two counts of first-degree murder and sentenced to death for the murders of Brandon Saunders and Vaughn Rowe. In this direct appeal, Cabrera asserts five grounds for reversal of his conviction and sentence. Because this is an appeal in a death penalty case we apply a high degree of scrutiny to the five issues for our review. As to all five issues we find no reversible error, and we affirm the judgment of the trial court.
