WASHINGTON - Se suponía que Aaron Gunches moriría el jueves por la noche.

Arizona llevó a cabo tres ejecuciones en 2022, después de una pausa de ocho años debido a preguntas sobre los protocolos de pena de muerte del estado. El asesino convicto Aaron Gunches ha pedido ser ejecutado, pero los funcionarios estatales dicen que todavía hay demasiados problemas con la inyección letal y otros procedimientos para llevar a cabo una ejecución ahora.
