Comment

I.C. � 18-4502.

See Schad v. Arizona, 501 U.S. 624, 111 S.Ct. 2491, 115 L.Ed.2d 555 (1991). In that case, the defendant was found guilty of first degree murder, committed either as a premeditated homicide or as a homicide during the commission of a felony (robbery). The Court held that the jury need not agree on a single theory of guilt in order to convict the defendant.
