Mr. Woodel was convicted of the first-degree murders of Clifford and Bernice Moody, who were fatally injured in an attack in their trailer in December 1996. Mr. Woodel was sentenced to death for both murders but this Court vacated the sentences. A new jury voted 7-5 to recommend a death sentence for the murder of Mrs. Moody and recommended a life sentence for the murder of Mr. Moody. The trial judge followed those recommendations in sentencing Mr. Woodel to one life sentence and one death sentence. This is his direct appeal of the death sentence.
