State of Arizona, Appellee v. Jose Alejandro Acuna Valenzuela, Appellant.

Summary

The court affirmed Acuna's convictions and death sentence, rejecting challenges to the joinder of the weapons charge, voir dire, the retaliation aggravator, judicial comments, juror bias, prosecutorial misconduct, and Arizona's capital-sentencing scheme. It held that the trial court's rulings were either correct or harmless and that the aggravating circumstances and death sentence were supported by the evidence and permissible discretion. No separate opinions were filed.
