Justices ordered a new sentencing hearing." I actually have to agree, If he was in fact collecting a debt, that is not robbery. He's still to be convicted of murder. It's not that he is getting off, he is just going to be facing a different set of penalty's. A Judge is not supposed to "invent" the law. That is in fact the problem we have had with some judges who decide they can write law. This judge knew his job, he is there only to enforce the law as it is written. If you want to change that, change the laws. I see no outrage here. “The split court reversed Daniels’ aggravated robbery conviction and the capital murder charge linked to it, but upheld his conviction for premeditated and deliberate capital murder.
