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. If the death penalty is not waived, the trial will have two stages: first to determine guilt, and then, if found guilty of first-degree murder, to determine punishment. The second stage allows for evidence of aggravating and mitigating factors, and the punishment will be life imprisonment without parole unless specific conditions for the death penalty are met.
