Description
The appellant, Joseph Michael Wilson, was convicted of capital murder for the killings of Charles Lamar Hemphill, Michael A. Beaudette, Johnny Couch, and Brian Carter. The murders were made capital because the appellant committed them by one act or pursuant to one scheme or course of conduct. See §13A-5-40(a)(10), Ala. Code 1975. He was also convicted of attempting to murder Ashley Rutherford and Michelle Hayden. See §§13A-6-2 and 13A-4-2, Ala. Code 1975. After a sentencing hearing, the jury recommended, by a vote of 12-0, that the appellant be sentenced to death by electrocution. The trial court accepted the jury's recommendation and sentenced the appellant to death for the capital murder conviction. It also sentenced him to serve 20 years in prison for each of the attempted murder convictions, ordering that he serve those sentences consecutively to his death sentence.
