Padgett had pleaded guilty last October to capital murder, abduction and robbery. He was arrested in July 2010 after he told police he smoked marijuana with Cara Marie Holley in a field, and then beat her with a tire iron and buried her body in Franklin County.
Media outlets report that the multiday hearing will resume Monday morning.
