COLUMBIA, SC (AP) -- South Carolina's Supreme Court has upheld a death
sentence for a man
convicted of killing his estranged wife while awaiting trial on charges he
had raped and
kidnapped her.

Louis Winkler's attorneys argued a judge should have allowed Winkler to
represent himself during
the sentencing phase of his 2008 trial. But Chief Justice Jean Toal wrote in
the opinion
published Monday that Winkler should have asked to act as his own attorney
for the whole trial,
not just sentencing.

Winkler was found guilty of shooting Rebekah Grainger in the head in her
Little River apartment.
He was under house arrest at the time of the 2006 shooting but was allowed
out for several hours
a day.

Winkler had a gun and newspaper article about the shooting in his pocket
when he was arrested.
