   PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs has been ordered to appear in   
   court Thursday in her efforts to halt pending executions.   
      
   Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Frank Moskowitz said late Friday that   
   Hobbs and Ryan Thornell, the state's prison director, must show up to   
   explain why the court shouldn't issue an order against them on the grounds   
   they are violating the constitutional rights of victims entitled to prompt   
   justice.   
      
   The afternoon court appearance is scheduled the same day convicted   
   murderer Aaron Gunches had been set to die. The Arizona Supreme Court in   
   recent days concluded state law didn't require Hobbs to proceed with the   
   planned execution, even though it wasn't officially called off.   
      
   An email requesting a response from the governor's office was not   
   immediately answered.   
      
   At the same time, Maricopa County Attorney Rachel H. Mitchell has asked   
   the court to extend the execution warrant for Gunches by 25 days.   
      
   Gunches had been set to die by lethal injection for the 2002 killing of   
   his girlfriend's ex-husband Ted Price. He had pleaded guilty to a murder   
   charge in the shooting death near Mesa, Arizona.   
      
   Price’s sister, Karen Price, has pressed the court to order Hobbs to let   
   the execution go ahead.   
      
   Hobbs had previously appointed a retired federal magistrate judge to   
   examine Arizona’s procurement of lethal injection drugs and other death   
   penalty protocols.   
      
   The corrections department said Monday its death penalty protocols “have   
   been paused as we conduct our systemic review of the execution process."   
      
   Arizona has 110 prisoners on death row. It carried out three executions   
   last year after a hiatus of almost eight years over criticism that a 2014   
   execution was botched and because of difficulties obtaining execution   
   drugs.

   It seems that the issue that Hobbs has is the drugs used for the   
   execution. Why don't they just use the tons of Fentanyl coming across the   
   border. The authorities have confiscated it, so it's basically free. It's   
   a painless way to put the convicts to sleep. I think that solves the   
   problem.
