Summary:

Davis was convicted of the first-degree murders of Yvonne Bustamante and Juanita Luciano, who were doused with gas and set on fire in 2007. The jury unanimously recommended the death penalty for both murders, and the trial court sentenced him to death. This Court upheld his death sentence on direct appeal. Davis filed a postconviction challenge in the trial court, raising several issues. His claims were denied, and this appeal followed. Davis has also filed a habeas corpus petition.
