Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs vowed Friday that her administration won’t carry out an execution even though the state Supreme Court scheduled it over the objections of the state’s new attorney general.
The Democratic governor’s promise not to execute Aaron Gunches on April 6 for his murder conviction in a 2002 killing came a day after the state Supreme Court said it must grant an execution warrant if certain appellate proceedings have concluded — and that those requirements were met in Gunches’ case.
Last week, Hobbs appointed retired U.S. Magistrate Judge David Duncan to examine the state’s procurement of lethal injection drugs and other death penalty protocols due to the state’s history of mismanaging executions.
“Under my administration, an execution will not occur until the people of Arizona can have confidence that the state is not violating the law in carrying out the gravest of penalties,” Hobbs said in a statement Friday.

Don't they respect the rule of law? The court has ruled. Hobbs must obey or be in contempt.
How does one respond to a Fake state government?
“Aaron Gunches, who was found guilty in 2008 of killing his girlfriend’s ex-husband in the Arizona desert in 2002”
So, Duncan is a Bushie.
“..If you can steal an election you can do whatever you want. ...”
Exactly. They’ve essentially set themselves up as kings, or queens in this case.
They can rule by fiat, dictate, amend, cancel, create any law they want and the “unwashed masses” be damned....let em eat COVID.
Governor Select HobbGoblin has been just as bad as I expected her to be. She vetoed a budget because it did not include tuition for Illegal Immigrants. I could go on but Cartel Katie simply has too many bad things going to mention them all.
Here comes the BS. Did the same thing in California. Voters wouldn’t reject the death penalty so they started objecting to methods then go picky about supply chain. Hundreds on death row but plenty to their lives or died naturally. It’s meaningless if someone is there for decades.
Fake governor, grifter, and thief.
I think that is exactly what they have done. The rat 🐀 bastards.
It would be curious to know who the middle-man is between the Governor and the cartel. Has to be someone who has daily meetings with her and advises on positions to take.
Let the Gov. pay for the condemned’s upkeep out of her own pocket.
Offering tuition for illegal invaders is like ringing the dinner bell. Then they get degrees and take jobs away from citizens?
scumbag protecting a scumbag, if it were her family you can bet he would be dead already
I am not sure about Arizona but most states allow the Governor to stop an execution - this is the very last safeguard in our system of justice, I would not like to see this safeguard removed regardless of the political motive of the governor.
I do not believe that most democrat voters understand this. Their party was hijacked by thieves and the criminals are not giving it back. The Dem voters do not understand that they do not nor ever will have a seat at the table.
The HOGG has a thing for murderers. The ho thinks they’re cute. She needs “rescue” them and take them home with her like you would any other dog. All they need is a “forever” home without bars. Stupid biatch.
Stolen elections have consequences.
IMPEACH HIM!
But she has vowed to kill every unborn baby possible.
