The Arizona Supreme Court recently upheld a guilty verdict and the death sentence against a Yuma man who was convicted of killing his girlfriend and her two daughters. The decision was unanimous and the justices rejected the various arguments that the man put forward in his attempt to get a new trial. The crime occurred in 1989 when the man bludgeoned his girlfriend with a tire iron and then turned the weapon on her two daughters. After the crimes, the man confessed to his neighbor and showed him the blood splattered house. The Yuma man claimed that he did not get a fair trial because of the publicity surrounding the crime. However, the Arizona Supreme Court rejected this argument and did nothing to alter the man's death sentence.
