Jurors on Tuesday found aggravating factors in the case against Danny Ledezma Martinez. Martinez was found guilty of first-degree murder earlier this month in the 2010 shooting of Officer Travis Murphy.
Phoenix police say Martinez has an extensive record of violent crimes.
The 34-year-old Martinez was accused of shooting Murphy with an AR-15 type rifle early on the morning of May 26, 2010.
Officers were responding to a suspicious person call and Murphy was gunned down in front of a central Phoenix home. The four-year veteran later died at a hospital.

The DP should be he default penalty for *anyone* who causes the death of another after knowingly,deliberately,doing something to that person that a reasonable person would know could even *possibly* cause serious harm.
That includes everything from shooting another in the head to pushing,causing him/her to strike their head and die.

Reminds me of the scene from Collateral
“You Killed Him!”
“No, I just shot him, the bullets and the fall killed him”.

Death penalty, what a joke! It took over 5 years just to get him convicted in his first trial. There will be many years of trials and hearings (all taxpayer paid) before a date is set. It will take 15-20 years. The criminal justice system is just a life support system for lawyers.

Even if convicted and sentenced to death the sentence will never be carried out. Western society can no longer excrete its waste products.
