The execution of Frank Atwood, which is set to take place on June 8, will mark the second execution of a death row inmate in Arizona following a years-long pause that began in 2014.
On May 3, Atwood's lawyer, Joseph Perkovich, said the ADCRR presented false choices to Atwood, and said Atwood is disabled, having been wheelchair-bound for many years.
"He's close to being executed, and he's trying to pull everything he can out of a hat to prolong it and delay it," said Hoskinson's mother, Debbie Carlson, in 2013. "A jury of 12 of his peers found him guilty, and he was sentenced to death. He needs to be a man and face that.""My first reaction was ‘Hallejuah. Finally,'" said Carlson. "Justice delayed is justice denied, and I didn’t want justice for Vicki to be denied.
After hearing testimonies from Atwood, his attorneys, the victim's mother and others, the clemency board opted to not spare Atwood's life. Atwood was convicted of kidnapping and killing a girl in the 1980s. FOX 10's Nicole Garcia reports. "If [Hoskinson] was in his car, there would’ve been hair, there would’ve been a print. There were prints on a bike that never matched Frank Atwood. There were unknown prints. These kinds of things can’t be ignored," said Atwood's attorney.
Atwood's attorneys say Atwood, over the decades, has earned a degree, authored books, and got married.
