The Arizona Supreme Court has ruled that state law doesn’t require Gov. Katie Hobbs to carry out the execution of a prisoner scheduled to die April 6 for his conviction in a 2002 killing.
The decision marks a legal victory for the newly elected Democratic governor whose office said the state isn’t currently prepared to carry out the death penalty.
The court had previously set the April 6 date for the execution of Aaron Gunches for his conviction in the shooting death of Ted Price near Mesa, Arizona. The order came after Hobbs said executions will not be carried out until Arizonans can be confident that the state isn’t violating constitutional rights when it enforces the death penalty.
