Summary of Offense:
On October 28, 2001, Mitchell and his co-defendants (including a juvenile) allegedly got a ride from a woman, Alyce R. Slim, 63, and her granddaughter, Tiffany Lee, 9, in Arizona. They stabbed both victims to death and stole the car--supposedly for use in an armed robbery. Each victim was stabbed at a separate location. The Attorney General ordered a capital prosecution against Mitchell under a carjacking theory -- although the tribe has not "opted in" to the federal death penalty. Mitchell was found guilty on May 20, 2003 and sentenced to death on September 15, 2003.
