Richard Greenway Case

The facts relating to the nature of the crime and the procedural history are set forth fully in our prior opinion. See Greenway, 653 F.3d at 794. We summarize here briefly.

Police found the bodies of Lili Champagne and her daughter, Mindy Peters, in their home; each had been shot twice. Evidence suggested that the two had been killed in the course of a robbery. Following a news bulletin asking for information regarding the victims, Greenway’s sister notified homicide detectives that Greenway knew something about the incident. Detectives picked up Greenway and his co-defendant, Chris Lincoln, for questioning. Lincoln confessed to participating in the killings and implicated Greenway. Greenway and Lincoln were then both arrested and charged with several counts, including murder.

Before trial, Greenway was placed in a cell with Anthony Schmanski. Schmanski, according to his trial testimony, asked Greenway why he was in jail, and Greenway answered, “Well, I just blew two people away” because “they had seen [my] face.” Further investigation revealed Greenway had attempted to sell the victims’ car stereo to Brian Mize, Greenway’s co-worker. According to Mize’s trial testimony, Greenway told Mize that he went to the victims’ house and, after taking “some stuff,” shot the victims. Greenway also told Mize that, after he shot the older lady, “her body rolled over and blood gushed out of her head.” See State v. Greenway, 823 P.2d 22, 26 (Ariz. 1991).

There was also evidence that Greenway knew the victims. He had been to a party with Mindy in late 1987. Greenway met Lili shortly thereafter when Greenway went to their house to return Mindy’s wallet
