Albert Mack Case
n the night of July 12, 1993, Patrick Cory Holman’s body was found inside the trunk of a partially burned 1974 Oldsmobile Cutlass automobile. The Cutlass was parked on the side of Sanders Ferry Road near the entrance to the Royal Pines subdivision, a suburban neighborhood near Tuscaloosa. He had been killed instantly by a gunshot to the back of his head; his body had been placed in the trunk; and the automobile had been set on fire.
The appellant, Albert Mack III,1 was indicted for murder, made capital because it was committed during a robbery. See Ala.Code 1975, § 13A-5-40(a)(2). The jury found him guilty as charged and, by a vote of 10 to 2, recommended that he be punished by death. The trial court accepted this recommendation and sentenced the appellant to death. This appeal followed.
Mack does not dispute that he intentionally shot Holman in the back of the head or that the shot killed him. He denies that the shooting occurred during the course of a robbery. Mack’s theory of defense is that when he shot Holman, he believed that Holman and Holman’s cousin, Carlos Green, intended to kill Mack and/or his friend Roy Craig, Jr.,2 because Craig had sold Holman approximately $500 worth of “bad dope.” Mack was a friend of both Craig and Holman and had facilitated the drug transaction between Craig and Holman by introducing Holman to Craig.
