Heading: Boyston’s alleged PCP intoxication

Text: ¶78 As to both Alexander and Timothy, Boyston argues that their suffering was not objectively foreseeable because he was in a “PCP blackout” and a “dissociative state which resulted in delusions, hallucinations and psychosis.” In support, Boyston cites evidence of PCP intoxication introduced in the penalty phase. But Boyston did not introduce any evidence of PCP intoxication during the aggravation phase. Although some evidence presented in the guilt phase suggested that Boyston was “super high” from smoking PCP the night before the murders, and the jury could properly consider that evidence in reaching its aggravation-phase verdicts, see A.R.S. § 13-752(E), (I), several witnesses testified that he seemed normal at the time of the murders. We cannot conclude the jury abused its discretion in finding the (F)(6) aggravator. 37
