Modifies provisions relating to trial procedures for murder in the first degree

This bill outlines the procedures for trying first-degree murder cases, particularly when the death penalty is not waived. It establishes a two-stage trial process: first to determine guilt, and if found guilty, a second stage to decide punishment. The bill specifies conditions under which a death sentence cannot be imposed, such as if the defendant is found to be intellectually disabled or if aggravating circumstances are not proven. It also allows for resentencing for certain defendants whose punishment was previously determined by a judge after a jury deadlock.
