[5] Although subtle in terms of language, the difference between these formulations is conceptually important because under the proper standard if there is reasonable doubt about whether the mitigating factors outweigh the aggravating factors, then the court must impose life imprisonment, whereas under the improper standard, *467 if there is reasonable doubt about whether the mitigating factors outweigh the aggravating factors, then the court may still impose the death sentence.

You tell so many lies you don't know when the truth is coming out," and "on a zero to ten scale" of credibility "[your credibility is] minus forty.". The district court subsequently stated that, "based upon its findings and evaluations of pertinent evidence[, it] is convinced beyond a reasonable doubt[ ] that the murder of Paul Vosika was committed in a [conscienceless] and pitiless manner, unnecessarily torturous to Paul Vosika."
