Ms. Larzelere was convicted of the murder of her husband, Norman, who was fatally shot in March 1991. The jury voted 7-5 to recommend a death sentence and she was condemned. This Court upheld her murder conviction and death sentence on direct appeal. She challenged her conviction and sentence in circuit court. The trial judge upheld her conviction but vacated her death sentence. Both the state and Ms. Larzelere have appealed that ruling to this Court, raising various issues.
