Capital
punishment is the law in Arizona and the appropriate response to those who
commit the most shocking and vile murders. This is about the administration of
justice and ensuring the last word still belongs to the innocent victims who can
no longer speak for themselves.
- Mark Brnovich
My sentiments are more
in favour of the victim than they are of the murderer. There is a tendency
nowadays when any matter of criminal law is discussed to think far more of the
criminal than his victim. - Chief Justice Rayner Goddard
The 26th Attorney General of Arizona, Mark
Brnovich received the Rayner
Goddard Act of Courage Award from the members of Unit 1012. He favors the
use of the death penalty and is working to retain it in his state.
We have watched him fight for justice and the death penalty in Arizona
and want him to know that he has encouraged victims' families and leaders
worldwide. We honor and respect him. We hope that more judges and government
officials will follow their courageous character.
We, the members of Unit
1012: The VFFDP, send our utmost thanks and congratulation to the Arizona
Attorney General. He is our hero in showing his care and love for the murdered
victims’ families. We wish that more leaders can take his leadership example
and follow it.
A criminal on death row
has a chance to prepare his death, make a will, and make his last statements,
etc. while some victims can never do it. There are many other crimes where people
are injured by stabbing, rape, theft, etc. To some degree at least, the victims
right to freedom and pursuit of happiness is violated. - J. Edgar Hoover
Brnovich
argues for upholding death penalty for two convicted murderers
Elizabeth
Troutman | The Center Square contributor
(The Center
Square) - The Arizona Attorney General’s Office argued at the Supreme Court to
uphold the death penalty sentence for David Ramirez and reinstate the
first-degree murder conviction of Barry Jones.
“Today
is about confronting convicted criminals who seek endless delays in our courts
to avoid accepting responsibility for their heinous crimes,”
Attorney General Mark Brnovich said in a news release. “Upholding
the rule of law requires the rejection of erroneous legal arguments and
misguided antics designed to delay the administration of justice.”
Arizona
Solicitor General Beau Roysden argued the case before the justices on Dec. 8.
If the criminal taking of a human life does not merit forfeiture of
one's own life, then what value have we placed on the life taken? - Pat
Buchanan
In July,
Brnovich announced his office asked the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse the Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals’ decisions in two death penalty cases. The Court
agreed to hear Brnovich’s appeal in June. Brnovich filed the petition for
certiorari at the Supreme Court in January, arguing that the Ninth Circuit had
violated a federal statute by basing its decisions in these two cases on
evidence the inmates had never before presented to the Arizona courts.
David Ramirez
was convicted for the murder of Mary Ann Gortarez and her 15-year-old daughter
and sentenced to death in 1989. Arizona courts upheld his murder convictions
and death sentences, but the Ninth Circuit remanded his case to the federal
district court to consider Ramirez’s claim of ineffective counsel.
Barry Jones
was convicted of child abuse, sexual assault, and felony murder of his
girlfriend’s four-year-old daughter in 1995, but a federal district court
granted him habeas relief based on a new expert testimony that he had not
presented in court. In 2019, the Ninth Circuit agreed with the district court
to retry him.
“I
will always stand up for victims, their families, and our communities,”
Brnovich said.

pushing state to move forward with executing 2 death row inmates

PHOENIX —
Arizona’s attorney general is pushing the state to move forward with the
process to perform the first execution of death row inmates in Arizona since
2014.
Mark Brnovich
requested on Wednesday for the Arizona Supreme Court to schedule a meeting with
his office so he may file a warrant for the state to execute Frank Atwood and
Clarence Dixon.
Atwood was
sentenced to death for the kidnapping and murder of an 8-year-old Tucson girl
in 1984. Dixon was convicted for the brutal rape and murder of a 21-year-old
ASU student in the 1970s that went unsolved for decades until DNA tracking
technology pointed Tempe police to him.
Both men have
lost all attempts to appeal their death sentence, according to Brnovich's
office.
“As regards capital cases, the trouble is that
emotional men and women always see only the individual whose fate is up at the
moment, and neither his victim nor the many millions of unknown individuals who
would in the long run be harmed by what they ask. Moreover, almost any criminal,
however brutal, has usually some person, often a person whom he has greatly
wronged, who will plead for him. If the mother is alive she will always come,
and she cannot help feeling that the case in which she is so concerned is
peculiar, that in this case a pardon should be granted. It was really heartrending
to have to see the kinfolk and friends of murderers who were condemned to
death, and among the very rare occasions when anything governmental or official
caused me to lose sleep were times when I had to listen to some poor mother
making a plea for a criminal so wicked, so utterly brutal and depraved, that it
would have been a crime on my part to remit his punishment.”
"Justice
has been a long time coming in some of the most heinous crimes committed in our
state,” Brnovich said.
The last time
Arizona carried out an execution was in 2014 when convicted murderer Joseph
Wood died by lethal injection.
Wood’s death
stirred controversy after what was alleged to be an ethical, 10-minute
execution process ended up taking more than two hours with the 55-year-old
inmate gasping for air and convulsing before dying.
A total of 37
people have been executed in Arizona since capital punishment was reintroduced
in 1976, and more than 100 inmates are currently on death row.
Brnovich’s
office said that the Arizona Supreme Court has not responded to his request
yet.
