Maricopa County Attorney seeks death warrant for Aaron Gunches despite AG stance.

Maricopa County Attorney Rachel Mitchell seeks an execution warrant for death row inmate Aaron Gunches from the Arizona Supreme Court, despite Attorney General Kris Mayes' stance that only the Attorney General can request death warrants. Gunches was convicted of killing Ted Price in 2002 and has advocated for his execution. Arizona has not conducted an execution since 2022, with executions temporarily suspended by Attorney General Mayes and Governor Katie Hobbs for the review of protocols.
