Arizona Resumes Death Penalty with Plans for First Execution in Two Years

Credited from: APNEWS

  • Prosecutors in Arizona are moving to execute Aaron Brian Gunches, which would mark the state's first death penalty action after a two-year hiatus.
  • The Arizona Attorney General’s Office filed with the state Supreme Court to obtain a warrant for Gunches' execution, who has been on death row since 2007.
  • Gunches' execution was originally delayed due to a review of the state’s death penalty protocol initiated by former Democratic Attorney General.
  • The review concluded in November 2022 following the dismissal of a retired federal magistrate appointed to analyze execution procedures.
  • Gunches, who has represented himself, has indicated his desire for a swifter execution, claiming his death sentence was "long overdue."
