On Monday, Oct. 3, 2016, the justices let stand the ruling that said Arizona unconstitutionally excluded evidence about McKinney's troubled childhood and post-traumatic stress disorder that might have led to a lesser punishment. McKinney was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death in 1993. (Arizona Department of Corrections via AP)
