DENVER — A federal jury in Denver on Monday convicted the last of four defendants in a murder that ended a drunken argument last year over American Indian heritage on the Southern Ute reservation in southwest Colorado.
A jury deliberated five hours before finding Isaac Headman, 26, of Ignacio guilty of first-degree murder, kidnapping and other charges in the death of 31-year-old Clifton Joseph Greany in August 2007.
According to testimony, a fight broke out over cultural differences between tribes after a night of heavy drinking.
Headman; Johnita Taylor, 31; April Watts, 20; and Monica Williams, 23, were each charged with premeditated murder. All four await sentencing. Taylor, Watts and Williams could receive 25 years in federal prison. Headman faces a mandatory life sentence.
