Arizona Supreme Court

State of Arizona, Appellee v. James Erin McKinney, Appellant.

September 27, 2018426 P.3d 1204

Summary

The court held that McKinney was not entitled to a new jury sentencing because his case became final before the relevant constitutional decision. Conducting a new independent review, the court concluded that the aggravating circumstances substantially outweighed mitigation concerning both murders and affirmed the two death sentences.
