EAGLE, Colo.—A Carbondale man has been convicted of attempted murder for cutting his ex-girlfriend outside her home in 2008.
Twenty-six-year-old Ian Ranney faces up to 48 years in prison after an Eagle County jury convicted him Thursday.
Ranney said he simply meant to scare his ex-girlfriend when he waited outside her home at the Aspen-Basalt Mobile Home Park in September of 2008 and lunged at her with a 12-inch knife. She was deeply cut from her cheek to ear but survived.
A doctor testified during the trial that the knife came within one-eighth of an inch of severing an artery and killing the woman.
Sentencing has not been set.
