Description
This case presents a tragic story of jealousy, alcohol and violence. Two people are dead. Cathy Alice Gittel and Michael Wayne Lee died from shotgun blasts fired in Cathy's home. A neighbor found Cathy's former boyfriend, Keith Rosencrantz, lying in the doorway of the house, bleeding from a gunshot wound to his shoulder. Help me, said Rosencrantz. I have killed them all. Following an investigation, the police concluded that Rosencrantz indeed had killed Cathy and Michael, then had turned the shotgun on himself. Unlike his victims, Rosencrantz survived. The county prosecutor charged him with two counts of first degree murder. A jury, after hearing evidence of alcohol consumption and other events before the shooting, found Rosencrantz guilty of voluntary manslaughter. The district Judge imposed two fixed sentences of ten years, to be served consecutively. On appeal Rosencrantz has challenged the correctness of evidentiary rulings during the trial, the propriety of remarks by the prosecutor, and the length of the sentences. For reasons set forth below, we affirm.
