PHOENIX – A unanimous decision by the Arizona Supreme Court has upheld a Tucson-area man’s death sentences in the shooting deaths of his sister and her fiance.
The ruling issued Tuesday by the state high court rejects arguments made in an appeal on behalf of Shad Daniel Armstrong.
He was convicted in Pima County Superior Court of the 1996 killings of Tucson residents Farrah Armstrong and Frank Williams.
Authorities say Armstrong decided with another man to kill the couple because Armstrong’s sister wanted to return to Oklahoma to confess to a burglary that also involved her brother.
