McGills crime was deemed especially cruel, involving arson and endangerment. Despite a brief final statement, witnesses reported a quick and painless procedure. McGills execution follows his exhaustion of appeals in 2022 and Arizonas resumption of executions after an 8-year hiatus due to challenges in obtaining execution drugs and scrutiny over a lengthy execution in 2014.
