An Arizona death row inmate has rescinded his request to receive capital punishment. The inmate cited that the state conducted cruel executions on three previous inmates.
Arizona death row inmateIn a handwritten motion dated Wednesday and addressed to the Arizona Supreme Court, Aaron Gunches cited three recent executions that were"carried out in a manner that amounts to torture" and saying Arizona Department of Corrections execution team members struggled to insert IV lines during the lethal injection process.
"For the Arizona Supreme Court to issue an execution warrant under the current conditions amounts to court ordered cruel and unusual punishment, which simply cannot be allowed," Gunches wrote.Gunches also said he would have not asked to be executed if he had known newly elected Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes was possibly going to delay executing inmates.
Mayes has said the state needs to take some time to ensure the death penalty is handled"legally and correctly." Aaron Gunches, who originally wanted the Arizona Supreme Court to issue his death warrant, has withdrawn his request to be executed. "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.
