Substitute Opinion in Death Penalty Case

The Court issued a substitute opinion in State v. Shackelford today. The results remain the same. Mr. Shackelford's conviction is affirmed, but he gets a new sentencing hearing. The only change in the opinion appears to be the omission of a comment in footnote 3 that Shackelford did not make a confrontation clause objection at trial.
