Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Criminal Code of 1961. Provides that in a direct appeal in a first degree murder case in which the death penalty was imposed, upon the request of the defendant, the Supreme Court must determine whether the sentence was imposed due to some arbitrary factor; whether an independent weighing of the aggravating and mitigating circumstances indicate death was the proper sentence; and whether the sentence of death was excessive or disproportionate to the penalty imposed in similar cases.
