How later courts describe this case

  • holding that the trial court's statement in its sentencing order that Ferguson was not "insane" did not show that the trial court applied the standard of insanity to Ferguson's proffered evidence of mitigation
  • prosecutor’s argument that the victims also did not have a chance was proper rebuttal to the mitigating evidence that Ferguson did not have a chance because of his difficult childhood and his low intelligence
