How later courts describe this case
- finding penalty phase instruction that was substantially similar to express language of the death penalty statute violated rule of Mills
- applying non-deferential pre-AEDPA standard; disapproving of similar charge because trial court's use of words "unanimous" and "mitigating" were closer in space than in Zettlemoyer, but noting that Commonwealth's counter-argument was "plausible"
