Arizona Supreme Court rejects bid to reschedule execution

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:33:51 GMT

PHOENIX (AP) — The Arizona Supreme Court has declined to reschedule an execution that had been set for Thursday and looked unlikely to be carried out after Gov. Katie Hobbs’ office said the state wasn’t prepared to enforce the death penalty.In an order Wednesday, the court declined to set a May 1 execution date for prisoner Aaron Gunches for his murder conviction in the 2002 killing of Ted Price near Mesa, Arizona.Hobbs, who has ordered a review of Arizona’s death penalty protocols due to the state’s history of mismanaging executions, had vowed not to enforce any death sentences until there’s confidence the state can enforce the death penalty without violating the law.In late March, the state Supreme Court rejected a request from Price’s sister, Karen Price, to order Hobbs to carry out the execution. The court concluded Hobbs wasn’t required to do so.Price’s sister and his daughter, Brittany Kay, have since filed a lawsuit that seeks to force Hobbs to execute Gunches.Gunches had ple...

¿Cuáles son los siguientes pasos en el caso penal de Donald Trump?

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:33:51 GMT

(CNN) —  La comparecencia de este martes del expresidente Donald Trump fue un torbellino de primicias históricas, pues Trump fue arrestado y se enfrentó a los primeros cargos penales de la historia contra un expresidente de Estados Unidos.Ahora comienza la espera mientras se desarrolla el largo trabajo del sistema judicial, con las próximas acciones programadas en la corte a varios meses de distancia.
