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.
