Updates from Arizona’s death row


Clarence Dixon is scheduled to be executed at 10 am Wednesday at the state prison in Florence.

He was convicted in 2008 for the 1978 murder of Deana Bowdoin, a 21-year-old senior at Arizona State University, who was found dead inside her apartment with a belt around her neck.

The 66-year-old Dixon would be the first person executed by Arizona since the botched execution of Joseph Wood in 2014.
