Aaron Gunches had spent 20 years asking the State of Arizona to kill him. Finally, at 10:33 a.m. on March 19, he got his wish. As he lay strapped to a gurney in the execution chamber and a lethal dose of pentobarbital coursed through his body, I waited nearby in a prison classroom while my colleague, Michael Kiefer, and roughly 15 other people watched him die. In the months before he died, I was one of the few journalists Aaron spoke to in any capacity.

It's worth noting that Gov. Newsom issued a moratorium on the death penalty in CA in 2019. There has not been a single execution carried out statewide since 2006, when Clarence Ray Allen was lethally injected. There are 592 people on Death Row in CA.
#BREAKING: Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman has announced that he has "rescinded" the prior D.A.'s moratorium on seeking the death penalty in murder cases. Details: https://t.co/Hx5idcryv3 https://t.co/MGiAKfWNpF

I’m at the decommissioned Florence prison complex in Arizona, where Aaron Gunches is set to be executed by lethal injection. Aaron was convicted of murdering Ted Price in 2008 and sentenced to death. He has volunteered to be executed. I’m in the media pool — witnesses just left https://t.co/zNCrGkSt8u
