GARIBALDI, J.
In State v. Di Frisco, 118 N.J. 253, 283, 571 A.2d 914 (1990) [Di Frisco I], we affirmed Anthony DiFrisco’s conviction for the murder of Edward Potcher but vacated his death sentence and remanded the case for a new penalty-phase hearing. At the second penalty-phase proceeding, the jury returned a death-penalty verdict, and the trial court sentenced defendant to death. Defendant appeals directly to this Court as of right. R. 2:2-1(a)(3). We affirm the imposition of the death penalty.
