Description
The defendants, Arthur Nathaniel Aiken and Antonio Nathaniel Wheat, were jointly charged by amended information with three separate and distinct counts of murder in the first degree, allegedly committed with a premeditated design to effect death or while the defendants were jointly engaged in committing, attempting to commit, or withdrawing from the scene of a robbery. Appropriate pleas of not guilty were entered. Motions for separate trials were interposed by the respective defendants and denied. Trial was duly held before a jury, which returned separate verdicts of guilty as to each defendant and as to each count. The respective verdicts were accompanied in each instance by the jury's recommendation, in answer to a special interrogatory as to each count, that the death penalty be imposed. Judgment and sentence as to each defendant and each count was entered upon the verdicts and timely notices of appeal were given.
