PHOENIX — The Maricopa County Attorney's Office announced Wednesday evening its intent to seek the death penalty if the man accused of murdering a Maricopa County deputy is convicted of first-degree murder.
MCAO's notice of intent notes Clinton Hurley's list of previous charges — including two counts of attempted molestation of a child, one count of robbery, two counts of armed robbery, three counts of aggravated assault, and four attempts to commit armed robbery — cruelty in relation to Ruiz's death, committing the offense while on probation for a felony offense and the fact that Ruiz was a peace officer, killed in the line of duty.
Officials say Hurley was being processed on felony warrants when he attacked Ruiz at a substation. Sheriff Paul Penzone said Hurley beat Ruiz until he was unconscious. Hurley allegedly stole an MCSO vehicle to leave the substation, later abandoning it and stealing another vehicle.
