An Arizona death row inmate has withdrawn his request to be executed, citing three recent executions he said were 'carried out in a manner that amounts to torture.'
January 6, 2023 / 7:36 AMIn a handwritten motion dated Wednesday and addressed to the Arizona Supreme Court, Aaron Gunches cited three recent executions he said were"carried out in a manner that amounts to torture," noting that Arizona Department of Corrections execution team members struggled to insert IV lines during the lethal injection process.
Gunches also said he wouldn't have asked to be executed if he'd known newly elected Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes was possibly going to delay executing inmates. "AG Mayes is acting in a responsible manner with an ethical and moral obligation, not only to the AG's office but to the laws of Arizona," Gunches said in his motion.
