Description
The appellant, ToForest Onesha Johnson, was convicted of the murder of Jefferson County Deputy Sheriff William G. Hardy while Hardy was on duty or ""because of some official or job-related act or performance,"" an offense made capital by § 13A-5-40(a)(5), Ala. Code 1975. The jury, by a vote of 10-2, recommended that Johnson be sentenced to death. The trial court accepted the jury's recommendation and sentenced Johnson to death. The evidence adduced at trial tended to show the following. On July 19, 1995, between 12:30 a.m. and 1:00 a.m., Deputy Hardy was shot and killed in the parking lot of a hotel in Birmingham. Deputy Hardy had been working a second job as a nighttime security guard at the hotel. Deputy Hardy was paid by the hotel while ""moonlighting"" as a security guard, but he wore his deputy's uniform and drove his patrol car to the hotel.
