Upholding the constitutionality of A.R.S. § 13-753(K)(1) in light of the recent United States Supreme Court opinions Moore v. Texas, 137 S. Ct. 1039 (2017) (“Moore I”), and Moore v. Texas, 139 S. Ct. 666 (2019) (“Moore II”). Moore I and Moore II did not eliminate § 13-753(K)(1)’s requirements that the trial court: (1) conduct an overall assessment, as set forth in State v. Grell, 212 Ariz. 516, 529 ¶ 62 (2006), to determine if the defendant has a deficit in any life-skill category; and (2) if a deficit exists, determine whether it affects the defendant’s ability to meet “the standards of personal independence and social responsibility expected of defendant’s age and cultural group.” |

Amended by Order on 04/13/2020 Constitutionality Decision
Upholding the constitutionality of A.RS. § 13-751(F)(13), which provides as an aggravating circumstance in a capital case that “[t]he offense was committed in a cold, calculated manner without pretense of moral or legal justification”, against the challenge that it is overly vague and provides inadequate guidance, in light of further narrowing instructions.
Upholding the constitutionality of A.RS. § 13-751(F)(6) (renumbered A.R.S. § 13-751(F)(4)), which provides as an aggravating circumstance in a capital case that "the defendant committed the offense in an especially heinous, cruel or depraved manner", against the challenge that it is overly vague and provides inadequate guidance, in light of further narrowing instructions, and that any guidance cannot be constitutionally applied by a jury, rather than a judge.
Affirming the holding of State v. Hidalgo, 241 Ariz. 543 (2017), cert. denied, 138 S. Ct. 1054 (2018), that the Arizona death penalty statutory scheme sufficiently narrows the class of defendants eligible for the death penalty in accordance with the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution.
Upholding the constitutionality of A.RS. § 13-752(G), which governs the presentation of mitigation evidence at the penalty phase in a capital case, against the challenge that it is unconstitutional because it fails to provide a process to allow jurors to consider mitigating evidence when a defendant waives his right to present such evidence. |

Holding A.R.S. §§ 33-931(A) and 36-2903.01(G)(4) preempted to the extent hospitals utilize them against third-party tortfeasors to “balance bill” patients to recover costs in excess of Medicaid reimbursements. When used for this purpose, the statutes conflict with 42 U.S.C. § 1396a(a)(25)(C) and 42 C.F.R. § 447.15. Consequently, they are unconstitutional as applied under the Supremacy Clause, U.S. Const.
