On January 7, 1978, 21-year-old Deana Bowdoin, an ASU student, was sexually assaulted and stabbed to death in her Tempe apartment.
The case went cold at the time, until about 20 years later when DNA connected Dixon to the murder. Dixon was already serving prison time for a separate 1986 sexual assault conviction. Dixon was sentenced to death after a jury found him guilty. He was indicted for Bowdoin’s murder in 2002 and he has exhausted all appeal options, according to the Attorney General’s Office.
All executions were halted by a State Supreme Court Judge in 2014, after what some lawyers call the"botched" execution of death row prisoner Joseph Wood.
They should show these executions on live TV, also they should stop the bs about executions being inhumane, a 9mm is a lot cheaper and faster.
Look at historical executions, most carried out within months after sentencing. Why are so many appeals allowed? You were sentenced, accept your fate like a man (or woman).
After spending thousands of tax payers dollars. Need to make these Serious Decisions sooner.
Do the crime do the time. But the death penalty process should be a lot quicker. Why are taxpayers paying for this man to sit on death row and get 3 meals a day, a roof over his head and medical care when he took the life of someone else!?
Over 40 years ago. I am not opposed to the death penalty, but it needs to male sense. He's old and nearing the end of his natural life anyway
God have mercy on his soul.
At this point he’s been in prison so long, it’s just for sport Why bother, may as well let him live out the rest of his days.
I love executions, it high awareness among people not to fuck up
I’m against the death penalty. He should get life without parole.
Good ..
Sounds reasonable
Why the hell does it take so long.
