Mr. Mosley was convicted of the first-degree murders of Lynda Wilkes and their infant son, Jay-Quan, who were killed in 2004. The jury recommended a life sentence for the murder of Ms. Wilkes, who was strangled, and voted 8-4 to recommend death for the murder of the baby, whose body was never found. Mr. Mosley was condemned to death for Jay-Quan’s murder. This Court upheld the sentence and Mr. Mosley filed a postconviction challenge in trial court. It was denied and this appeal followed.
