Together with Tison v. Arizona, also on certiorari to the same court (see this Court's Rule 19.4). In our view, the question presented does not fairly encompass an attack on Arizona's construction of its aggravating factors and we express no view on that subject. Information available through ArrestFacts.com is provided for informational purposes only. She was found huddled over the family dog that was also killed. . Like the Enmund Court, we find the state legislatures' judgment as to proportionality in these circumstances relevant to this constitutional inquiry.4 The largest number of States still fall into the two intermediate categories discussed in Enmund. On July 30, 1978, his sons Ricky, Raymond Ray, and Donald Donny smuggled shotguns into the prison and helped Gary. All those killed were intended victims, and no one else was endangered. See also Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U.S. 153, 237-241, 96 S.Ct. Such punishment might also be defended on the utilitarian ground that it was necessary to satisfy the community's thirst for retribution and thereby keep the peace. It will always be there." Donald Tison was killed. 2726, 2761, 33 L.Ed.2d 346 (1972) (Stewart, J., concurring). Ann., Tit. William J. Schafer, III, Phoenix, Ariz., for respondent. The trial judge's instructions were consistent with the prosecutor's argument. John Lyons asked the Tisons and Greenawalt to "[g]ive us some water . Enmund, supra, 458 U.S., at 798, 102 S.Ct., at 3377, citing Gregg v. Georgia, 428 U.S. 153, 183, 96 S.Ct. The crux of their appeal was that they "were hurried to conviction under the pressure of a mob without any regard for their rights and without according to them due process of law." See Ariz.Rev.Stat.Ann. The saga told in "The Last Rampage: The Escape of Gary Tison" begins in 1978, when Tison, of Casa Grande, was serving a life sentence for killing a prison guard. 1328, 79 L.Ed.2d 723 (1984); Deputy v. State, 500 A.2d 581, 599 (Del.1985) ("Deputy was not solely a participant in the underlying felony, but was instead present during, and involved in, the actual murders"), cert. Without such channeling, a State could impose a judgment of execution by torture as appropriate retribution for murder by torture.19 Thus, under a simple theory either of deterrence or retribution, unfettered by the Constitution, results disturbing to civil sensibilities and inconsistent with "the evolving standards of decency" in our society become rationally defensible. The evidence, therefore, was sufficient to find that the appellant was a principal of the second degree, constructively present aiding and abetting the commission of the crime of robbery. But if the case is that the whole proceeding is a maskthat counsel, jury, and judge were swept to the fatal end by an irresistible wave of public passion, and that the State Courts failed to correct the wrong, neither perfection in the machinery for correction nor the possibility that the trial court and counsel saw no other way of avoiding an immediate outbreak of the mob can prevent this Court from securing to the petitioners their constitutional rights." Id., at 179, 218-219. 551, 83 L.Ed.2d 438 (1984). Petitioner then watched Gary Tison and Greenawalt fire in the direction of the victims. Ariz.Rev.Stat.Ann. Over 300 police officers and hundreds of volunteers searched for him, but he eluded them. Far from merely sitting in a car away from the actual scene of the murders acting as the getaway driver to a robbery, each petitioner was actively involved in every element of the kidnaping-robbery and was physically present during the entire sequence of criminal activity culminating in the murder of the Lyons family and the subsequent flight. See, e.g., Coker v. Georgia, 433 U.S. 584, 97 S.Ct. . The State's ultimate sanctionif it is ever to be usedmust be reserved for those whose culpability is greatest. Gary Tison escaped into the desert where he subsequently died of exposure. In addition, the Court's statement that Raymond did not act to assist the victims "after" the shooting, and its statement that Ricky "watched the killing after which he chose to aid those whom he had placed in the position to kill rather than their victims," ante, at 152, takes license with the facts found by the Arizona Supreme Court. By addressing at best only the first of these criteria, the Court has ignored most of the guidance this Court has developed for evaluating the proportionality of punishment. On the other hand, some nonintentional murderers may be among the most dangerous and inhumane of allthe person who tortures another not caring whether the victim lives or dies, or the robber who shoots someone in the course of the robbery, utterly indifferent to the fact that the desire to rob may have the unintended consequence of killing the victim as well as taking the victim's property. Code, Art. Ricky and Raymond Tison were individually tried and convicted in the Arizona Superior Court, Yuma County, on four counts of first degree murder, three counts of kidnapping, two counts of armed rob- bery and one count of motor vehicle theft.20 The trial judge's jury ); see also Coker v. Georgia, 433 U.S., at 594, 97 S.Ct., at 2867. The Court's decision today to approve the death penalty for accomplices who lack this mental state is inconsistent with Enmund and with the only justifications this Court has put forth for imposing the death penalty in any case. Several days later the Tisons and Greenawalt were apprehended after a shootout at a police roadblock. . See Fletcher, Rethinking Criminal Law, at 415 ("Judges in traffic courts are readily tempted by the philosophy that regardless of whether the particular suspect has committed the violation, a punitive fine will make him drive more carefully in the future"). Guilty for the Crimes of the Father II. Ante, at 158 (emphasis added). The search for the Tison gang was the largest manhunt in Arizona history. App. Raymond Tison was told that he was to wait by the vehicle and flag someone down to help him with the flat tire. Enmund v. State, 399 So.2d 1362, 1369 (1981). Tisons terrorized state 25 years ago Citizen file photos Audit . The Arizona Supreme Court wrote: "Intend [sic ] to kill includes the situation in which the defendant intended, contemplated, or anticipated that lethal force would or might be used or that life would or might be taken in accomplishing the underlying felony." Id., at 282-283. In Enmund, the Court explained at length the reasons a finding of intent is a necessary prerequisite to the imposition of the death penalty. So rarely does any State (let alone any Western country other than our own) ever execute a person who neither killed nor intended to kill that "these death sentences are cruel and unusual in the same way that being struck by lightning is cruel and unusual." . The Arizona Supreme Court thus attempted to comply with Enmund by making a finding as to petitioners' mental state. E.g., Robinson v. California, 370 U.S. 660, 667, 82 S.Ct. 398, 83 L.Ed.2d 332 (1984); State v. Harding, 141 Ariz. 492, 687 P.2d 1247 (1984) (defendant killed victim); State v. Libberton, 141 Ariz. 132, 685 P.2d 1284 (1984) (defendant killed victim); State v. Jordan, 137 Ariz. 504, 672 P.2d 169 (1983) (defendant killed and intended to kill); State v. Smith, 138 Ariz. 79, 673 P.2d 17 (1983) (defendant killed and intended to kill), cert. 146-1158. Furman v. Georgia, 408 U.S. 238, 92 S.Ct. The statute set out six aggravating and four mitigating factors. In reversing the Florida Supreme Court, this Court took note of the "overwhelming evidence" of "[s]ociety's rejection of the death penalty for accomplice liability in felony murders." Vt.Stat.Ann., Tit. A massive manhunt in Arizona ended on Aug. 11, 1978, when the gang ran a police road block near Casa Grande. Although the Court ignores the statistics on actual executions, it does refer earlier in its opinion to the evidence discussed in Enmund that of the 739 inmates on death row for whom sufficient data were available, only 41 did not participate in the fatal assault on the victim and only 16 were not present. Held: Although petitioners neither intended to kill the victims nor inflicted the fatal wounds, the record might support a finding that they had the culpable mental state of reckless indifference to human life. Gainesville, Florida, United States Education Kansas State University . With regard to deterrence, the Court was "quite unconvinced . All six executions took place in 1955." Read Yuma Sun Newspaper Archives, Jun 10, 2020, p. 2 with family history and genealogy records from yuma, arizona 1914-2022. Raymond and Donald drove the Lincoln down a dirt road off the highway and then down a gas line service road farther into the desert; Gary Tison, Ricky Tison, and Randy Greenawalt followed in the Lyons' Mazda. In four of the five cases cited as evidence of an "apparent consensus" that intent to kill is not a prerequisite for imposing the death penalty, the court did not specifically find an absence of any act or intent to kill. Indeed it is for this very reason that the common law and modern criminal codes alike have classified behavior such as occurred in this case along with intentional murders. In a felony-murder situation, it made little difference whether the actor was convicted of murder or of the underlying felony because the sanction was the same. Ricky and Raymond Tison, who were under 20 years old at the time of the shootings, were also sentenced to death. After his capture, appellant made statements describing the prison breakout and subsequent activities, including the four murders. That they did not specifically intend that the Lyonses and Theresa Tyson die, that they did not plot in advance that these homicides would take place, or that they did not actually pull the triggers on the guns which inflicted the fatal wounds is of little significance." The prosecutor argued to the jury that it did not matter that Gary Tison and Randy Greenawalt had caused the killings, because under the felony-murder rule the Tisons could nonetheless be found legally responsible for those killings. 3368, 3373, n. 11, 73 L.Ed.2d 1140 (1982). A sophisticated utilitarian theory of deterrence might propose some limiting principles, e.g., "no punishment must cause more misery than the offense unchecked." Cf. Accordingly, they fall well within the overlapping second intermediate position which focuses on the defendant's degree of participation in the felony. Id., at 321, 327, 14 Ill.Dec., at 23, 27, 371 N.E.2d, at 1076, 1080. 2954, 57 L.Ed.2d 973 (1978), the plurality opinion made clear that the defendant's mental state was critical to weighing a defendant's culpability under a system of guided discretion, vacating a death sentence imposed under an Ohio statute that did not permit the sentencing authority to take into account "[t]he absence of direct proof that the defendant intended to cause the death of the victim." The Court acknowledged that "[i]t would be very different if the likelihood of a killing in the course of a robbery were so substantial that one should share the blame for the killing if he somehow participated in the felony." When their car broke down on a highway, they stopped a passing car. 163.095(d), 163.115(1)(b) (1985). of Mar. Idaho Code 19-2515(g) (Supp.1986); Okla.Stat., Tit.

Tison, 42, and Tison's three sons, Ricky, 18, Donald, 22, and Raymond, 19, authorities said. Enmund did not shoot anyone, and there was nothing in the record concerning Enmund's mental state with regard to the killings, but the Florida Supreme Court had held him strictly liable for the killings under the felony-murder doctrine. 14, 1979, hearing). In any given case, the Court said, the death penalty must "measurably contribut[e]" to one or both of the two "social purposes"deterrence and retributionwhich this Court has accepted as justifications for the death penalty. 905, 911 (1939). As he was being escorted to prison, he overpowered the guard, grabbed his gun and shot and killed him. Ganter was sentenced to 20-30 years; his accomplice was sentenced to 3-6 years. 543 (1923). They were re-sentenced to life in prison,. 79, 672 P.2d 862 (1983), construed its capital murder statute to require a finding of intent to kill. 447-448 (1978) ("[I]n the common law, intentional killing is not the only basis for establishing the most egregious form of criminal homicide. The two remaining Tison sons remain in the Arizona State prison at Florence. App. Id., at 447-448, 690 P.2d, at 748-749. Neither stated that they anticipated that the shootings would occur, or that they could have done anything to prevent them or to help the victims afterward.6 Both, however, expressed feelings of surprise, helplessness, and regret. Plans for escape were discussed with Gary Tison, who insisted that his cellmate, Randy Greenawalt, also a convicted murderer, be included in the prison break. Ante, at 157. Gary Tison was sentenced to life imprisonment as the result of a prison escape during the course of which he had killed a guard. Cab- ana v. Bullock, supra, 474 U.S., at 386, 106 S.Ct., at 697.

The Eighth Amendment does not prohibit the death penalty as disproportionate in the case of a defendant whose participation in a felony that results in murder is major and whose mental state is one of reckless indifference. Id., at 280-289. NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Death Row U.S.A. 1 (Aug. 1986). Raymond and Ricky Tison and Randy Greenawalt were captured and tried jointly for the crimes associated with the prison break itself and the shootout at the roadblock; each was convicted and sentenced. . After the decision of the Arizona Supreme Court, this Court addressed, in Enmund v. Florida, 458 U.S. 782, 102 S.Ct. App. 1429, 79 L.Ed.2d 753 (1984); State v. Richmond, 136 Ariz. 312, 666 P.2d 57 (defendant intended to kill, participated in assault that led to death), cert. The Lyons and Theresa Tyson were then escorted to the Lincoln and again ordered to stand in its headlights. We will not attempt to precisely delineate the particular types of conduct and states of mind warranting imposition of the death penalty here. Like Enmund, the Tisons have been sentenced to death for the intentional acts of others which the Tisons did not expect, which were not essential to the felony, and over which they had no control. On July 30, 1978, the three Tison brothers entered the Arizona State Prison at Florence carrying a large ice chest filled with guns. Gary Tison and Greenawalt actually carried out the murders. 1774, 84 L.Ed.2d 834 (1985). State v. Emery, 141 Ariz. 549, 554, 688 P.2d 175, 180 (1984). Furman v.

A scant four years later, however, the Court validated Georgia's new machinery, and in 1977 executions resumed. Since Enmund was decided, the Netherlands and Australia have abolished the death penalty for all offenses, and Cyprus, El Salvador, and Argentina have abolished it for all crimes except those committed in wartime or in violation of military law. Petitioners' presence at the scene of the murders, and their participation in flagging down the vehicle, and robbing and guarding the family, indicate nothing whatsoever about their subjective appreciation that their father and his friend would suddenly decide to kill the family. The Court's objective evidence that the statutes of roughly 20 States appear to authorize the death penalty for defendants in the Court's new category is therefore an inadequate substitute for a proper proportionality analysis, and is not persuasive evidence that the punishment that was unconstitutional for Enmund is constitutional for the Tisons. Their escape was aided by Greenawalt, who cut the alarm and phone lines. [142 Ariz. 447] . 548, 83 L.Ed.2d 436 (1984); State v.

Donald Tison was shot to death at the roadblock on April 11, 1978. . Petitioner knew that Gary Tison's murder conviction arose out of the killing of a guard during an earlier prison escape attempt. At the other end of the spectrum, eight States required a finding of intent to kill before death could be imposed in a felony-murder case and one State required actual participation in the killing. . In sentencing petitioners, the trial court did not find that they had killed, attempted to kill, or intended to kill anyone. Following the Enmund decision, petitioners applied to the Arizona Supreme Court for postconviction review. 12, 10 (1547). Gary Tisonwas first jailed in 1960, after robbing a grocery store when he was just 25 years old.
