• venireperson excluded for cause after stating unequivocally that he would not take the oath of a juror
• the appellant's death sentence was not disproportionate despite the fact that her husband/accomplice had not been prosecuted for his participation in the victim's murder
• wherein this court found that the same two aggravating circumstances present here outweighed the one statutory mitigating circumstance of age (18 at the time of the offense), and several non-statutory mitigating circumstances
• although a factor to consider when reviewing the proportionality of a death sentence, the fact that the appellant's husband/accomplice had not been prosecuted for his participation in the victim's murder did not render the appellant's death sentence disproportionate
• "The fact that a defendant has legal counsel does not, as a per se rule, prohibit law enforcement officials from procuring a statement of any kind from the appellant, without first giving notice to and receiving consent from his counsel"
