    NOTICE OF INTENT TO SEEK THE PENALTY OF DEATH

    THE STATE OF FLORIDA hereby notices the Defendant and the Court that, based upon

    the information available at this time, as to the facts of this offense and the Defendant’s prior

    record, sufficient aggravating circumstances do exist to justify the imposition of the death

    penalty as to this Defendant in this case. Therefore, the State will be requesting the imposition

    of the death penalty should the Defendant be convicted in this case.

    Pursuant to Florida Statute 782.04(1)(b), the State intends to prove and has reason to

    believe it can prove beyond a reasonable doubt the following aggravating circumstances:

    1. The defendant was previously convicted of another capital felony or of a felony

    involving the use or threat of violence to the person. § 921.141(6)(b), Fla. Stat.

    2. The capital felony was committed while the defendant was engaged in the

    commission of, or an attempt to commit aggravated child abuse. § 921.141(6)(d), Fla.

    Stat.

    3. The capital felony was especially heinous, atrocious, or cruel. § 921.141(6)(h), Fla.

    Stat.
    4. The victim of the capital felony was particularly vulnerable due to advanced age or

    disability, or because the defendant stood in a position of familial or custodial

    authority over the victim. § 921.141(6)(m), Fla. Stat.
