The convicted killer said he also wanted his execution to go forward tonight, but Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs put a hold on executions.
Bob Christie Capitol Media Services PHOENIX — A judge said Thursday afternoon he was helpless to provide any immediate relief to the family of a murder victim who wanted the state to go ahead with the scheduled execution that day of his killer because a death warrant issued by the Arizona Supreme Court was expiring.
"I have an expiring order,'' Moskowitz said to the Price family’s lawyers during the hearing."If it expires provides the Supreme Court shall issue a warrant of execution, not this court.'' "But the attorney general said that wasn’t happening,'' he said."I want whatever gets my sentence carried out, as fast as possible.''
That set off a series of court battles, with the Supreme Court eventually ruling there was no reason not to issue the warrant. With both women listening in to the court hearing, Hobbs' lawyer said the governor understands how they feel. Hobbs and Mayes had pointed to Arizona’s history of problematic executions and its struggles to legally obtain drugs to put people to death when they halted executions and ordered the review.
