State of Arizona, Appellee v. Dauntorian Lydel Sanders, Appellant.

Summary

The court affirmed Sanders’s convictions for first-degree murder and two counts of child abuse and his death sentence. It held that the jury did not need a parole-ineligibility instruction because Sanders’s future dangerousness was not placed at issue, and it rejected his challenges concerning juror eligibility, voir dire limits, aggravating factors, evidentiary rulings, prosecutorial conduct, jury instructions, and mitigation. The court concluded that any alleged errors were either absent, invited, harmless, cured, or unsupported by prejudice.
