Phoenix prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for a man accused of fatally stabbing a 29-year-old woman on an Arizona hiking trail.

Maricopa County Attorney’s Office filed the notice of intent Friday around 5pm - a move the family of late Lauren Heike said they 'support' seven months after the brutal killing.

Zion Teasley, 22, is accused of stabbing the esthetician 15 times in the back and chest after stalking her on the Reach 11 trail in broad daylight in April.

One of many good reasons to never go off alone, however much you may enjoy the solitude.

If found guilty no doubt it will be about 30 years before execution carried out.
Ecclesiastes 8:11
King James Bible
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

Under our current group of prosecutors the question is “Does he get credit for the four months of good behavior?”

I agree, although this is in a populated, upscale suburban area (I live nearby). You wouldn’t expect to be attacked by a feral in this situation, but sadly you’d be wrong.

I’m not faulting her but I always read these girls are out by themselves at some time where the area is empty and then they get killed.

Is it possible to have his penalty be death by 15 knife stabbings? Seems fitting to me.

Give and apply the death penalty. I volunteer as the one to carry it out.

“They also told Phoenix residents how upon being picked up, Teasley ominously told detectives ‘he wanted to look like Heike,’...”

Jealous transy upset he couldn’t be a beautiful white woman?
