“At some time in the late evening hours of Friday, July 7, 1995, or the early morning hours of Saturday, July 8, 1995, Stacy Alan Terry, Barry Dewayne Robinson II, and the Defendant, Corey Maples, arrived at the residence of the Defendant on Mud Tavern Road in Morgan County.   All three of the young men were acquaintances.   Mr. Terry, whose nickname was Twinky, and the Defendant had spent the evening of July 7 drinking, playing pool, and ‘riding around’ in Mr. Terry’s 1995 Camaro.   Corey Maples and Mr. Terry had attended high school together until the Defendant dropped out his senior year.   As evidenced by the testimony of family and friends, the two young men had spent a considerable amount of time together during the week preceding these events.

“Mr. Robinson was new to the area, but had known Mr. Terry and the Defendant for several months.   Mr. Robinson asked Mr. Terry for a ride home from the pool hall where all three young men were playing pool.

“Once the three young men arrived at the home of the Defendant, Corey Maples, he left the car and went into the mobile home.   The defendant picked up a .22 caliber rifle and walked back outside to the car where Mr. Terry and Mr. Robinson sat getting ready to leave.   The Defendant walked to the driver’s side of the car and shot Mr. Terry twice in the head and then shot Mr. Robinson twice in the head.

“At some time around 1:00 a.m. on July 8, 1995, the Defendant’s half-brother, Daniel Maples, and his friend, Matt Shell, arrived at the residence on Mud Tavern Road and found the body of Stacy Terry lying in the driveway close to the trailer where the Defendant and his half-brother lived with their father and the Defendant’s stepmother.

“At some time around 9:00 p.m. on July 8, 1995, the Decatur police received a report of a body found in a creek commonly referred to as Mud Tavern Creek, one mile down the road from the Defendant’s residence.   The body was identified as that of Barry Robinson II.

“During the ensuing investigation of the two young men’s murders, officers of the Morgan County Sheriff’s Department obtained information that implicated Corey Ross Maples in the killings of Mr. Terry and Mr. Robinson.   The officers began to look for the Defendant and Mr. Terry’s missing Camaro with the personalized tag bearing the word ‘TWINK.’

“In the late evening of August 1, 1995, the Nashville Metropolitan Police Department received a telephone call from an individual who had spotted the Defendant at the Best Rest Motel off I-10 in Nashville.   The individual had seen a picture of the Defendant and heard a description of the car from a local television station.   Members of the Nashville Police Department apprehended the Defendant at the motel.   The Defendant was then transported to the Nashville Metropolitan Police Department where he was held until members of the Morgan County Sheriff’s Department arrived.   During the early morning hours of August 2, 1995, the Defendant gave Investigators Howard Battles and Byron Whitten of the Morgan County Sheriff’s office a statement of confession to the murders.

“Mr. Terry and Mr. Robinson died as a result of gunshot wounds to the head.   Both young men were shot twice in the head.   The medical examiner determined that each man’s death was instantaneous to the shots to the head.   The wounds were consistent with an execution-type slaying.   The evidence proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the Defendant shot both men.   He was armed with a .22 caliber rifle which belonged to his father.
