defendant's competency prior to trial. The report concluded defendant was competent to stand trial. There is nothing in the report indicating defendant was psychotic at the time of the slaying.
Livingston delivered 19 blows to the victim's head with a claw hammer while her hands were tied and after having, by his own admission, two acts of nonconsensual sex with her. Balanced against these stark facts are assertions regarding Livingston's alleged psychotic disorder and his feelings of remorse. The overwhelming disparity between 19 blows with a claw hammer and the weak mitigating factors presented by Livingston renders remand to the sentencing court unnecessary. Under such circumstances we can conclude with certainty that the aggravating factor herein was not outweighed by the claimed mitigating factors. The sentence imposed was proper.
