Product Information

The panel noted that, even for a gang member, Francisco went above and beyond the scale of barbarity any of them had seen. It didn't take long for the three judges to reach a verdict: Francisco Martinez would have to die for his crime. Nobody could have known that, in 1986, a 34-year-old resident of Byers named Virginia May would lose her life in one of the most heinous crimes in Colorado history - a crime that even today still resonates with the residents of this small community. But all of her aspirations and dreams would come to a violent, horrifying end on the night of May 30, 1997.

ONE GANG MEMBER STILL AWAITS TRIAL OF 7 INVOLVED IN DUVALL CASE, 4 PLEADED GUILTY AND 2 WERE CONVICTEDTruman even called forth a psychologist who testified that the gunshot wounds to Ginny May's breast and torso were indicative of being inflicted by an "enraged woman" seeking to "disfigure her rival" - an obvious attempt to pin the killing on Fincham.

Frank Vigil, the youngest of the defendants, was convicted of capital murder in 1998 for his role in the killing of Brandy Duvall. At the age of 16, Vigil was too young to face execution in Colorado, so the court sentenced him to life without parole. He is currently incarcerated at the Arkansas Valley Correctional Facility in Ordway, Colorado. Gary Davis first met Ginny May at church. As soon as he saw her, Davis became obsessed with Ginny. When he would work on the fence next to the MacLennan ranch, Davis would often make obscene comments towards Ginny about how he wanted to have sex with her and her sister-in-law.The verdict came after only three hours of deliberation. On July 21, 1987 - one year to the day after the murder of Virginia May - the jury found Gary Lee Davis guilty of of kidnapping, rape, and first-degree murder. TRIAL OF GANG MEMBER ACCUSED IN TORTURE-SLAYING OF GIRL GOES TO JURY GUILTY VERDICT COULD MEAN DEATH PENALTY Davis were arrested on suspicion of kidnapping Ginny May. Upon searching the couple's residence, police found numerous disturbing At about 9:00 PM, Gary May called the police and told them that his wife was missing. It took two hours for a deputy to show up to the ranch, and, once he arrived, he wasn't of much help. Gary would later recall that the deputy seemed unconcerned with Ginny's safety. "This happens all the time", the deputy told Gary May. "These housewives get bored with their lives and take off with another guy."

In the end, after much prodding from anti-death-penalty groups and members of his own family, Davis would choose to fight his execution. Ultimately, however, his efforts to get his death sentence commuted were all in vain. Davis and Fincham decided to change plans. Instead of Sue MacLennan, they would target Ginny May, who lived on a different part of the ranch.First off this thread proves Chris2 to be the liar and a demagogue. He is twisting and ignoring facts. In the case of Vigil, however, First Judicial District DA Alexis King feels that his sentences for kidnapping and first-degree assault should have been allowed consecutively. As a result, his time behind bars would likely have been lengthened by between fifteen and 48 years, again minus earned time, beyond what he's expected to serve after the resentencing.

Finally, at 8:30 PM, the exectioner administered the final drug, potassium chloride, to induce cardiac arrest. As the drug took effect, Davis' face turned a slightly blue color. His clenched fist slowly relaxed as he took his last breaths.The search for the missing mother had come to a tragic conclusion. Gary May had the excruciating task of informing his children that their mother would never come home. Davis concocted an elaborate plan with his wife to kidnap Ginny May from her home, take her to an isolated area, and have a "threesome" with the young woman. Fincham, of course, went along with Davis' plan without question.
