This document appears to be a narrative excerpt (page 167) regarding the infamous Tison Gang prison breakout and subsequent murder spree in Arizona (historically 1978). It details the carjacking and murder of the Lyons family (John, wife, baby, niece) by Gary Tison and Randy Greenawalt, while Tison's sons (Donny, Ricky, Ray) watched or were sent away during the execution. It notes the public terror caused by the event, specifically mentioning future Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who was a local judge at the time.
This document is a page from a book manuscript (Chapter 12), likely written by Alan Dershowitz, discussing the legal defense of Ricky and Raymond Tison. It details the 'felony-murder' rule and the author's decision to represent the brothers pro bono in their appeal against the death penalty in Arizona. The text outlines the background of the case, where the brothers helped their father escape prison but did not personally kill anyone during the subsequent murders.
