Description
The defendant, Roberto E. Ramirez, 51 years of age, was found guilty of murder and attempted armed robbery following a bench trial in the circuit court of Cook County. The defendant was not sentenced on the attempted-armed-robbery conviction but, pursuant to the discretion granted it by the Illinois death penalty statute, the prosecution requested a death penalty hearing on the defendant's murder conviction. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1977, ch. 38, par. 9-1(d).) The defendant exercised his right to a bifurcated jury sentencing hearing. The jury found, in stage one of the bifurcated hearing, that the defendant was over 18 years old and that a statutory aggravating factor existed: that the deceased was killed in the course of another felony. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1977, ch. 38, par. 9-1(b)(6).) In stage two, the jury found that there were no mitigating factors sufficient to preclude the imposition of the death sentence and signed the verdict form for the sentence of death. Ill. Rev. Stat. 1977, ch. 38, par. 9-1(g).
