How later courts describe this case
- holding that deliberate homicide was committed by means of torture where victim was killed by a blow which laid open her head, prior to which she was nonfatally strangled
- additional factual finding whether element necessary for imposition of death penalty was present did not require a fact determination that could be used to undermine the general verdict and thus did not "fall into the vice of a special verdict"
- Justices Marshall and Brennan dissenting
