Mitchell, the Republican prosecutor of Arizona's most populous county, Maricopa County, took a thinly veiled swipe at a Democratic counterpart in the East on Wednesday, Feb. 21, 2024, saying it would be more secure to hold a man accused of stabbing two women in Arizona than to extradite him to New York City, where he is wanted in connection with the fatal bludgeoning of a woman in a hotel room.
