Commonwealth 04/18/1997 After review of capital murder convictions and death sentences imposed upon the defendant, it is concluded that the trial court did not err in receiving "victim impact evidence" from persons other than family members of the victims. Defendant's death sentences are not excessive or disproportionate to penalties generally imposed by other sentencing bodies in the Commonwealth for similar crimes, and the sentences are affirmed.
