Azania was convicted of murder and sentenced to death for the 1981 slaying of Gary Police Lieutenant George Yaros in the course of a bank robbery.
Azania was denied post-conviction relief, and in a 1993 appeal from that ruling, this Court affirmed Azania’s conviction but reversed his sentence, citing ineffective assistance of counsel at the sentencing phase and the failure of the prosecution to provide gunshot residue test results to the defense.
Azania argues that the result of these problems was that in the quarterly draw from which his jury pool was taken, African-Americans—who in a truly representative system would have comprised 8.5% of the pool—in fact comprised only 4.4% of the pool.
