How later courts describe this case

  • in determining the callousness of the crime, the defendant's attitude is critical to the determination of whether he poses a continuing threat to society.
  • an error, albeit constitutional, is subject to a harmless error analysis because it was an error in the trial process itself, and not a defect affecting the entire framework of the trial
