Cody Martinez is a Mexican American on
death row in the state of Arizona. He was convicted on .
Crime
According to the DOC, In July 1995,
Martinez stole a blue Monte Carlo in California and a license plate
from another California car. Two days before the murder, he showed a
friend in Globe his revolver with black electrical tape wrapped
around the handle. Martinez had prior convictions for violent crimes,
was in violation of his probation, and did not want to go back to
prison. On August 15, 1995, several drivers noticed Martinez because
of his excessive speed on S.R. 87. One couple passed him just after
Officer Robert Martin had stopped him and was approaching the stolen
Monte Carlo. Martinez shot Officer Martin four times and took his
service revolver. Due to Martinez's reckless, high-speed driving
while fleeing the scene, several other drivers took down the Monte
Carlo's license plate number. Martinez fled to California, where the
police arrested him a day later and recovered the murder weapon and
Officer Martin's service revolver. After his arrest, Martinez was
overheard during a telephone call bragging to a friend-and
laughing-that he had killed a cop. Tests revealed that at least one
of the bullets that struck Officer Martin was fired from Martinez's
tape-wrapped revolver.
