James Donald Yeomans is an inmate on death row in the state of Alabama.
His appeal includes:
On January 20, 2000, James Donald Yeomans was indicted for four counts of capital murder for the November 22, 1999, deaths of his wife and her parents. Specifically, he was charged with three counts of capital murder under § 13A-5-40(a)(10), Ala.Code 1975, for killing two or more persons during one course of conduct. He was also charged with one count of murder during the course of a robbery, § 13A-5-40(a)(2), Ala.Code 1975, for killing Julie Ann Yeomans during the course of the theft of her purse and its contents, while using force against Julie and/or her parents. Yeomans pleaded not guilty and not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect. Pursuant to defense motions that were granted by the trial court, two mental-health experts conducted psychological evaluations of Yeomans. After a jury trial, which began on March 26, 2001, Yeomans was convicted of all four counts of capital murder. The jury then recommended, by a vote of 11-1, that the death sentence be imposed. On July 18, 2001, following a separate sentencing hearing, the judge adjudicated Yeomans guilty of four counts of capital murder and imposed the death sentence as to each count. Yeomans filed a motion styled “Motion for Judgment of Acquittal Notwithstanding the Verdict” and a motion for a new trial. Those motions were denied
