““Questions four and five being interrelated will be dealt with together. Dozens of objections were made by the prosescuting attorney, Mr. Horton Weiss. The over-zealous tactics of Mr. Weiss are well known to this court and have been the subject of other appeals; Mr. Weiss has also been personally observed by some of the appellate judges when they were on the trial bench. See, State v. Shook, 1 Ariz.App. 458 , 404 P.2d 724 (1965); Weiss v. Superior Court, 12 Ariz.App. 527 , 472 P.2d 950 (filed July 31, 1970); and State v.
