Does he expect me to believe the remaining 25% are so dangerous we need a law like this? If that is the case then why were the 25% ever released? As a legislator isn’t he responsible for that? It doesn’t matter he inherited the sins of his predecessors. It matters more what he is doing to fix it?

Have heard Mr. Cattani speak in wonkish style, pro-Death Penalty presentations. As a prosecutor for decades, he follows the well-establish one-sided pattern of Arizona's prosecutors -- convictions at all costs; notches on the belt for career gain. This "appointment" continues the Arizona continues path of "rubber-stamping" Appeals case that were decided under these individuals who were prosecutors or judges. How is the justice system supposed to work when there are no "checks and balances" and defendants go before those who convicted them or refused to listen to new evidence, exculpatory evidence that an individual was innocent, wrongfully convicted and wrongfully imprisons? It would appear there is NO appeals process in Arizona. Bad appointment for the people and the justice system. Sad news for those fighting their cases in the Appelate courts.
