noting that a Willits instruction is inadequate when “the [S]tate acts in bad faith or the defendant suffers prejudice-in-fact”
finding no Brady violation when “one could only say that the unpreserved evidence could have been subjected to tests, the results of which might have been exculpatory or inculpatory”
“All claims or issues arising out of the same nucleus of operative facts must be presented at the same time, or else they are precluded.”
“Speculation is not the stuff out of which constitutional error is made.”
“[A]bsent bad faith on the part of the state, the failure to preserve evidentiary material which could have been subjected to tests, the results of which might have exonerated the defendant, does not constitute a denial of due process of law under the Arizona Constitution.”
“Piecemeal litigation is an evil to be avoided.”
