The State of Arizona, Appellee v. Israel Joseph Naranjo, Appellant

Summary

The court affirmed Naranjo’s convictions and two death sentences. It held that Naranjo knowingly and voluntarily waived his Miranda rights, that the trial court acted within its discretion in striking a juror, limiting voir dire, imposing discovery sanctions, admitting or excluding challenged evidence, and denying a mistrial. The court also upheld the aggravating-circumstance finding and concluded that the mitigation evidence did not require leniency.
