STATE v. BASTON

No. 97-2204.

85 Ohio St.3d 418 (1999)

THE STATE OF OHIO, APPELLEE, v. BASTON, APPELLANT.

Supreme Court of Ohio.

Decided May 12, 1999.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Julia R. Bates, Lucas County Prosecuting Attorney, and Craig T. Pearson, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for appellee.

Jeffrey M. Gamso and Spiros P. Cocoves, for appellant.

COOK, J.

In this appeal, Baston has raised eight propositions of law. Finding none meritorious, we affirm his convictions. In addition, we have independently reviewed the record, weighed the aggravating circumstance against the mitigating factors, and examined the proportionality of the death sentence in this case in comparison to the penalty imposed in similar cases. Upon a complete review of the record, we affirm Baston's convictions and sentences.
