“the emotional trauma experienced by the jury in seeing this young man in the presence of his family members suggests that the Court view the sentence in light of judicial experience and impose a sentence based upon reasoned judgment. The Court is of the opinion that the facts suggesting a sentence of death for the commission of this murder is so clear and convincing that virtually no reasonable person could differ and the mitigating circumstances do not override or outweigh the aggravating circumstances.”
