RANDY C. DAUGHERTY, Appellant." ], "opinions": [ { "text": "JUSTICE SIMON\ndelivered the opinion of the court:\nAt a jury trial in the circuit court of Pike County the defendant, Randy Daugherty, and his codefendant, Clarence Hargis, were found guilty of the armed robbery and murder of Richard Dark. The defendant was sentenced to death for the murder and appeals directly to this court (87 Ill. 2d R. 603). Hargis was sentenced to a term of natural life and appealed to the appellate court. People v. Hargis (1983), 118 Ill. App. 3d 1064.\nThe prosecution\u2019s case consisted of circumstantial evidence linking the defendant and Hargis to the robbery and murder of Dark. Members of Dark\u2019s family testified that after September 5, 1981, they had not seen him alive. Three witnesses testified that on that date they saw Dark in the company of the defendant and Hargis at various locations. The three were last seen together at the Spot Tavern in Barry, Illinois, where the defendant and Hargis began playing pool about 8:30 in the evening while Dark sat at a table. After completing their game, the defendant and Hargis sat down and talked quietly at a table separate from Dark, and the bartender testified that whenever she approached the two would become silent. The bartender stated that Dark left the tavern with the defendant and Hargis at about 10:30 p.m. She also testified that the defendant was wearing a grey sweater which was admitted into evidence.\nOn the following day, the defendant and Hargis were seen together in Dark\u2019s car, but Dark was not with them. Billy Clark testified that on that day he first saw the defendant and Hargis at noon in Pittsfield. About an hour later he and a friend were out driving and they saw Hargis. They gave him a ride and then picked up the defendant and drove to a parking lot in New Salem where Dark\u2019s car was parked.\nClark testified that Dark\u2019s car would not start, and so the defendant and Hargis gathered a grey sweater and two pairs of blue jeans from the back seat, placed them in a paper bag, and transferred them to the trunk of Clark\u2019s car. Clark identified the grey sweater admitted in evidence as the sweater that was transferred to his car, and testified that when the defendant and Hargis took it out of Dark\u2019s car, it appeared to have bloodstains on it. Another witness later saw the defendant soaking this sweater. Clark also testified that each pair of blue jeans also had blood on them.\nDark\u2019s family thought he was leaving to visit relatives, so they did not contact the authorities immediately upon his disappearance. However, after a week they became suspicious, especially after a family friend reported that Dark\u2019s car had been abandoned in the New Salem parking lot. When the family notified authorities of Dark\u2019s disappearance, the police had his car towed in for investigation. They found bloodstains on the carpet and on a seat-belt bracket inside the car. They also found two of the defendant\u2019s personal checks, one of which was made out to Hargis.\nAfter finding the checks and interviewing the witnesses who related the movements of the defendant and Hargis on September 5 and 6, the police began looking for them in connection with Dark\u2019s disappearance. Hargis talked with the officers several times, and then came into the State Police headquarters at Pittsfield and had another conversation. On this occasion, Hargis drew a map and accompanied police officers to a remote field on a gravel road where Dark\u2019s body and wallet were found at the bottom of a well. The wallet contained his identification, but none of the proceeds of the social security check he had reportedly received two days before his disappearance. After viewing the body, the officers and Hargis continued down the road until they stopped at a bridge where an officer found a closed folding knife on the creek bed beneath the bridge. At trial Clark testified that he had seen the defendant with this knife during the summer of 1981.\nA doctor who performed an autopsy determined that Dark had received five knife wounds, four in the chest and one in the abdomen. The doctor concluded that only one of these had caused his death \u2014 a chest wound that had penetrated the aorta.\nNeither the defendant nor Hargis presented any evidence on his own behalf during the guilt phase. After the prosecution elected to seek the death penalty for both defendants, they waived a jury for the sentencing hearing. At the first phase of the hearing the prosecution\u2019s position was that it would prove the defendant eligible for the death penalty because the murder of Dark occurred in the course of the felony of armed robbery (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 38, par. 9 \u2014 1(b)(6) (subsection 6)) and because the defendant had previously been convicted of another murder (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 38, par. 9\u2014 1(b)(3) (subsection 3)). The prosecution sought the death penalty for Hargis only on the first ground. A certified copy of the defendant\u2019s conviction for an unrelated murder was admitted into evidence. (See 112 Ill. App. 3d 541.) Statements made by the defendant to law-enforcement officers as well as statements made by Hargis were also admitted. The court declared that it would consider each statement as an admission only against the person making it in order to avoid any constitutional objection under the confrontation clause. U.S. Const., amend. VI.\nIn the defendant\u2019s first statement, he admitted driv- . ing around with Dark and Hargis on September 5. The defendant claimed that during their travels Hargis had asked for the defendant\u2019s knife because he intended \u201cto stab or kill *** Dark and get his money.\u201d The defendant gave Hargis the knife, not believing that he would really go through with his plan. Later, when Dark stopped the car so that they could relieve themselves the defendant stood apart from Dark and Hargis. Turning around, he heard Hargis yell, \u201cRandy, finish it.\u201d The defendant, at first, did not understand what Hargis meant, but then he saw Dark bend over clutching his stomach and fall. The defendant thought that Hargis momentarily lost the knife, but found it again and stabbed Dark several more times. After it was over, Hargis said to the defendant, \u201cDidn\u2019t think I\u2019d do it, did you?\u201d and the defendant replied, \u201cNo.\u201d The defendant also maintained that there had not been any prearranged plan to rob Dark, and that he had not stabbed the victim during the incident. After the murder, Hargis took $13 from Dark\u2019s wallet and gave $6 to the defendant. They then disposed of the body and the knife, and changed clothes.\nThe defendant made a later statement to a polygraph examiner who was employed by the State. This statement essentially confirmed the defendant\u2019s prior statement except that he admitted \u201cpoking\u201d the victim at least once after Hargis dropped the knife. The defendant insisted, however, that he had not \u201ckilled\u201d Dark.\nIn his first statement Hargis also admitted that he and the defendant were with Dark on September 5. Hargis, however, stated that at the Spot Tavern he and the defendant had a serious argument over the pool game. Later, when Dark stopped the car, Hargis and the defendant began quarreling again. When Dark attempted to break up the altercation, the defendant stabbed him. Hargis stated that the defendant put the body into the car and disposed of it in the well, and discarded the knife in the creek.\nIn a second statement made to the polygraph examiner, Hargis said that after Dark pulled off the road the scuffle the defendant got into was with Dark, and not himself. As he intervened to stop the quarrel, Hargis accidentally stabbed Dark in the side. The two then disposed of the body together.\nThe court found the defendant eligible for the death penalty under subsection 3 because he had been convicted of two or more murders. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 38, par. 9 \u2014 1(b)(3).) The court also found both the defendant and Hargis eligible for the death penalty under subsection 6 which authorizes that penalty when \u201cthe murdered individual was killed in the course of another felony if *** the murdered individual was actually killed by the defendant and not by another party to the crime or simply as a consequence of the crime ***.\u201d (Emphasis added.) (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 38, par. 9 \u2014 1(b)(6)(a).) Although the trial judge admitted that he could not determine which defendant struck the fatal blow to the chest, he nevertheless concluded that both defendants had \u201cactually killed\u201d the defendant and were eligible for the death penalty under subsection 6. He said:\n\u201cThe defendants *** seem to point the accusing finger at the other person stating well, he really did it and that is the effect; ***. The statements by both individuals indicate some actual participation in the course of the events which led up to the death of the victim, and I am talking about the wielding of the knife. I believe Mr. Hargis related the testimony that he stabbed and it was an accident, and he didn\u2019t intend to. I believe Mr. Daugherty indicated about the so-called \u2018poking.\u2019 So, what we have here is a person who has been shown to be killed by the way of a knife and each of the defendants admits some participation in the wielding although they characterize it as an accident or some \u2018poking;\u2019 but in any event, it was the \u2018poking,\u2019 the insertion of a knife into the deceased. And I presume in a situation such as this we\u2019re talking about \u2014 well, who actually did the killing, the fatal blow. *** We cannot get into a situation where when both participate that the intent of the Statute is denied because of multiple participation. The Court will find that the qualifying factor in Number 6 has been proven as to both defendants.\u201d (Emphasis added.)\nAt the second phase of the death penalty hearing the prosecution introduced testimony concerning the defendant\u2019s prior conviction for the unrelated murder of a parole officer who was found in a cornfield outside Pitts-field on September 15, 1981, with 17 stab wounds in his chest. Two witnesses also testified about an unrelated conspiracy between Hargis and the defendant to rob and murder another man during the second week of September 1981. The defendants each produced certain evidence in mitigation.\nThe circuit court judge found that Hargis\u2019 prior criminal record did not include any crimes of violence and that he was \u201ccharacterized as a coward, timid perhaps is what it meant *** a person not likely to engage in violent activities.\u201d He relied on these factors in mitigation in sentencing Hargis. Concerning the defendant, .the judge found a history of escalation of antisocial conduct from an early age. The circuit judge also noted the close sequence of the two murders and the unrelated conspiracy to commit murder, and concluded that there were no factors in mitigation and that the defendant should be sentenced to death.\nBefore trial the defendant and Hargis each presented motions to sever their cases for trial. The defendant contends that the denial of his motion was both an abuse of discretion and led to a denial of due process at his trial. We agree that the cases should have been separated for trial.\nA defendant does not have a right to be tried separately from his codefendants in every case where they are charged together with offenses arising out of a common occurrence. (People v. Ruiz (1982), 94 Ill. 2d 245, 257.) \u201cThe general rule is that defendants jointly indicted are to be jointly tried unless fairness to one of the defendants requires a separate trial to avoid prejudice.\u201d People v. Lee (1981), 87 Ill. 2d 182, 187.\nA defendant who believes that he will suffer prejudice as a result of the joinder of his case with that of a codefendant may request severance by pretrial motion. (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1981, ch. 38, par. 114 \u2014 8.) \u201cThe motion must demonstrate how the defendant is going to be prejudiced by proceeding with a joint trial. Mere apprehensions of prejudice are not enough.\u201d (People v. Lee (1981), 87 Ill. 2d 182, 186.) In ruling on the motion for severance the trial judge must make a prediction about the likelihood of prejudice at trial, taking into account the papers presented, the arguments of counsel, and any other knowledge of the case developed from the proceedings. (See People v. McMullen (1980), 88 Ill. App. 3d 611, 614.) The trial court\u2019s decision will not be reversed absent an abuse of discretion. People v. Canaday (1971), 49 Ill. 2d 416, 424.\nTrial courts generally grant motions for severance based on two common forms of prejudice. The first type occurs when a codefendant has made hearsay admissions that implicate the defendant. The defendant may be denied his constitutional right of confrontation if the codefendant\u2019s hearsay admission is admitted against him and the defendant is unable to cross-examine the codefendant because the latter does not testify. \u201cBecause the defendant cannot call the codefendant to the stand for cross-examination, either a separate trial should be ordered or the admission should be redacted to eliminate any references to the defendant.\u201d People v. Lee (1981), 87 Ill. 2d 182, 187; see also Bruton v. United States (1968), 391 U.S. 123, 134 n.10, 20 L. Ed. 2d 476, 484 n.10, 88 S. Ct. 1620, 1626-27 n.10; People v. Clark (1959), 17 Ill. 2d 486, 490.\nA second type of prejudice occurs when defenses of the various defendants are so antagonistic that a severance is imperative to assure a fair trial. (People v. Lee (1981), 87 Ill. 2d 182, 188.) The classic example of antagonistic defenses arose in People v. Braune (1936), 363 Ill. 551, where each defendant \u201cwas protesting his innocence and condemning the other.\u201d (363 Ill. 551, 555.) In Braune it was apparent \u201cthat an actual and substantial hostility existed between the defendants over their lines of defense. *** Criminations and recriminations were the inevitable result.\u201d (363 Ill. 551, 555.) In Braune each defendant attempted to discredit the witnesses of his co-defendant. \u201cThe trial was in many respects more of a contest between the defendants than between the People and the defendants. It produced a spectacle where the People frequently stood by and witnessed a combat in which the defendants attempted to destroy each other.\u201d (363 Ill. 551, 557.) This court held in Braune that to guarantee a fair trial to both defendants the motion for severance should have been granted.\nIn this case the defendant and Hargis alleged both forms of prejudice. They each had made the statements to law-enforcement officers that were later admitted in evidence at their sentencing hearing. In his statement, Hargis accused the defendant of stabbing Dark while Dark tried to break up an altercation between the defendant and Hargis. Hargis claimed that the defendant alone had disposed of the body and the murder weapon. The defendant, on the other hand, accused Hargis of planning to rob Dark and stabbing him in the chest several times. Although the defendant admitted helping Hargis dispose of the body, he vigorously maintained that he had not planned with Hargis to rob and kill Dark, nor had he stabbed the victim during the murder.\nThe circuit court judge in this case was first made aware of the conflicting claims of the defendants when their statements were related to him by law-enforcement officers at the preliminary hearing. Later in his motion for severance, Hargis contended:\n\u201cThat their defenses, through investigation, have been found to be so antagonistic as to result in an unfair and prejudicial trial if they were tried together.\nThat the confession of Randy Daugherty, co-defendant, is so highly incriminating as to defendant that it would be impossible for Defendant Eddie Hargis to obtain a fair trial if tried with co-defendant.\u201d\nA copy of the defendant\u2019s first statement was attached to Hargis\u2019 motion. The court at this time was not aware of the statement to the polygraph examiner.\nAt the hearing on Hargis' motion, the trial judge informed counsel that he recalled the testimony at the preliminary hearing concerning the statements Hargis and the defendant had made. The judge said: \u201cLet me say that the Court heard the preliminary hearing, the evidence adduced, and we had a situation where one said no, I didn\u2019t do it; he did it. That\u2019s what they both said in fact.\u201d The prosecutor then stipulated that he would not use either of the codefendants\u2019 statements at trial. Although this eliminated the source of any problem under the confrontation clause, it did nothing to alleviate the codefendants\u2019 concerns about their antagonistic lines of defense. Nevertheless, the court concluded that the prosecutor\u2019s stipulation had eliminated \u201c[a]ny reason for a severance\u201d and denied Hargis\u2019 motion. When the defendant later filed his motion for severance on similar grounds, the trial court observed that it would treat it as having been filed before his ruling on Hargis\u2019 motion and that it would be denied for the same reasons.\nThe trial court\u2019s denial of the defendant\u2019s motion for severance was an abuse of discretion. When codefendants have each made statements implicating the other but professing their own innocence, it is almost inevitable that their lines of defense at trial will become inconsistent and antagonistic and severance is necessary to forestall that result and ensure a fair trial. In such cases, the hostility between the codefendants is likely to surface at trial whether or not they each take the stand themselves. An unacceptable spectacle occurs in which the trial becomes as much a contest between the defendants as it is a contest between either defendant and the prosecution.\nThe prosecution relies on several cases in which this court upheld the denial of motions for severance containing allegations of antagonistic defenses. The circumstances of this case, however, are distinguishable. In People v. Lindsay (1952), 412 Ill. 472, 480-82, several of the codefendants had made statements incriminating each other, but these alone did not establish any danger of prejudice arising from antagonistic defenses because, \u201cin each of the statements made, the defendant was not attempting to exonerate himself but in effect implicated both himself and all others in the crime, each statement in substance agreeing with the statements made by each of the other defendants.\u201d 412 Ill. 472, 482.\nIn People v. Yonder (1969), 44 Ill. 2d 376, 385-86, the codefendants expressed \u201cmere apprehensions\u201d that without severance each defendant would incriminate the other without specifying how their defenses were antagonistic. (44 Ill. 2d 376, 386.) Likewise, in People v. Lee (1981), 87 Ill. 2d 182, 184-88, one defendant moved for severance claiming \u201cthat he believed the codefendants would testify on their own behalf and implicate [him]. The court was not informed of what the substance of such testimony would be\u201d (87 Ill. 2d 182, 185), nor how it would be antagonistic to the defendant\u2019s defense.\nThis case is more like the situation in Braune than like Lindsay, Yonder or Lee; the circuit court was apprised that each defendant was incriminating the other while asserting his own innocence, and the court was informed of the statements of each defendant to that effect. It should have been apparent to the trial judge that the danger of prejudice and confusion caused by these antagonistic defenses was great, and the motion for severance should have been granted.\nIn reviewing the trial court\u2019s decision on the motion for severance we do not, consistent with People v. Yonder (1969), 44 Ill. 2d 376, 386, consider \u201cthe subsequent happenings at trial,\u201d but what actually took place in this case dramatically illustrates the risk of prejudice involved in permitting the joinder of defendants in a case based wholly upon circumstantial evidence, where each defendant has accused the other of the crime while professing his own innocence. The prosecution introduced testimony, over the defendant\u2019s objection, that Hargis had cooperated fully with the law-enforcement officers, drawn a map for them, taken them to the well where the victim\u2019s body was hidden, and helped them find the murder weapon. The closing arguments of each defendant served the purpose of apprising the jury of his theory of the proper inferences to be drawn from the evidence.\nIn his closing argument, the defendant\u2019s attorney stressed that the jury should make an independent determination of the elements of the offenses proved against each defendant. In support of this argument the defendant\u2019s counsel argued that the evidence established that Hargis was the killer:\n\u201cI\u2019ll *** emphasize my client\u2019s connection to the whole transaction that involves this particular knife that was \u2014 remember, shown to the People not by Randy Daugherty. It wasn\u2019t Randy Daugherty who showed that knife, where that knife was. It was Edward Hargis. Edward Hargis is a separate defendant in this case. * * * Billy Clark said that that was Randy Daugherty\u2019s knife. *** They\u2019re not saying that it was continually Randy Daugherty\u2019s knife because the last time that *** Billy Clark had seen that it was sometime last summer. He couldn\u2019t remember exactly when he had seen it, but it was quite a bit of time before the offense that we were talking about supposedly when it occurred here. *** It ' wasn\u2019t Randy Daugherty who took the police out there where it was. That was done by Edward Hargis, and the conduct of Edward Hargis should be considered separate.\u201d\nLater in the closing argument Hargis\u2019 counsel argued that the evidence supported the conclusion that the defendant was the murderer:\n\u201cWhat they *** have is what Eddie Hargis did and that is he knew where Dickie Dark\u2019s body was. And he knew where the knife was and he showed the cops that was where it was. After that they want you to find him guilty of murder. *** And they want you to discount any other reasonable possibility, any other reasonable way that he could have known about that, that Randy Daugherty could have done it. And Randy Daugherty could have told him later. The body wasn\u2019t discovered for three weeks and only when Eddie Hargis told him. Peculiar for a murderer lead them straight to the body, very peculiar. It\u2019s Randy Daugherty\u2019s knife. Randy Daugherty is the one that had the blood on the sweater testified to by Billy Clark. *** You\u2019ve got evidence that it was in the bathtub being soaked. You can draw inferences from there but it wasn\u2019t Eddie Hargis\u2019s. They didn\u2019t find any blood at any time on Eddie Hargis.\u201d\nHargis\u2019 counsel observed that the killer probably was facing Dark when he stabbed him, and the wound in the lower abdomen was on the left as the victim faced the killer, \u201cas if it was done by a person that was left-handed. I\u2019ve been able to watch both Eddie Hargis and Randy Daugherty this whole time,, and Eddie Hargis is not left handed. Randy Daugherty is.\u201d Hargis\u2019 counsel argued that the only reason Hargis was on trial for murder was because of his association with the defendant: \u201cEddie cooperated fully. *** [Bjecause he knows Randy Daugherty, and he was with him that night, he gets accused of murder.\u201d\nThe prejudice that the motion for severance was designed to prevent actually occurred in this case. The closing arguments in this case \u201cproduced a spectacle where the People *** stood by and witnessed a combat in which the defendants attempted to destroy each other.\u201d (People v. Braune (1936), 363 Ill. 551, 557.) Based on the information available to the trial judge the risk of prejudice inherent in this situation was apparent, and severance should have been granted. The defendant\u2019s convictions must therefore be reversed, and the cause remanded for a new trial.\nThe defendant\u2019s motion for severance having been improperly denied, his convictions for murder and armed robbery are reversed and his death sentence is vacated. The cause is remanded to the circuit court of Pike County for a new trial.\nJudgment reversed; sentence vacated; cause remanded.", "type": "majority", "author": "JUSTICE SIMON" } ], "attorneys": [ "Charles M.
