Docket entry
992894 Akers v. Commonwealth 09/15/2000 The defendant received a death sentence upon a plea of guilty to capital murder committed during a robbery. Although the defendant waived appeal, Code § 17.1-313 mandates review of the death sentence to determine whether it was imposed under the influence of passion, prejudice or any other arbitrary factor, and whether that sentence is excessive or disproportionate to the penalty imposed in similar cases, considering both the crime and the defendant. Upon such review, the sentence is affirmed.
