There is no genuine dispute as to the facts of Petitioner’s offense. The day of his arrest for the murder of 73-year-old Hazel Liveoak, Petitioner gave police a videotaped statement in which he admitted he and an accomplice (1) kidnapped the elderly Mrs. Liveoak from a grocery store parking lot in Prattville, Alabama, on the afternoon of July 12, 1994, (2) drove her in her own vehicle to a location south of Montgomery where, despite her protests that she had a heart condition, he convinced her to get into the trunk of her car with a promise to release her once they reached her bank, (3) drove Mrs. Liveoak to a parking lot in south Montgomery where Petitioner and his accomplice convinced her to furnish the access code for her bank card and withdrew money from her bank account using her bank access card after promising to notify police of her location, (4) abandoned Mrs. Liveoak’s vehicle (with her still in the trunk) in an isolated area of a K-Mart parking lot where it was discovered the following day containing Mrs. Liveoak’s lifeless body, and (5) despite Petitioner’s repeated assurances and promises, made no effort to contact or notify anyone of Mrs. Liveoak’s location or perilous predicament.1 Petitioner testified at the guilt-innocence phase of his trial in a manner consistent with his post-arrest statement to police.
