So glad the jury did the right thing!
DENVER - Family members of Toni Henthorn said theyre ecstatic with a jurys verdict Monday afternoon, after Tonis husband was found guilty of killing her.
..."Harold Henthorn's love was lethal," said relative Grace Rishell.
Members of the jury felt the same way; they deliberated for just hours after getting the case Friday.
Tonis brother Barry Bartolet said, Lives will be saved now that (Henthorn) is off the streets.
...Family members appeared relieved and satisfied as they left court. Relatives will move to adopt the couple's daughter, they announced outside of court.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Suneeta Hazra told jurors that Henthorn scouted the remote area of the popular park, around 75 miles north of Denver, nine times before bringing Toni Henthorn with him...
Park rangers said the defendant could not explain why he had a park map with an 'X'' drawn at the spot where his wife fell...
Harold Henthorn told her he was a wealthy entrepreneur and persuaded her to move with him to the Denver suburb of Highlands Ranch...
Prosecutors said Henthorn also made phony business cards to make it seem like he was a hardworking fundraiser for churches and non-profits, but investigators found no evidence he had any income from regular employment.
Thank you CuriousPortlander for picking up where I left off when I was unable to post. :tyou:
Glad the jury found him guilty.
Henthorn Brother Agrees To Return $500,000
November 2, 2015 5:09 PM
DENVER (CBS4) – Rob Henthorn, the brother of convicted wife killer Harold Henthorn, has agreed to return $500,000 to the estate of Toni Henthorn which he received in 2014 from his brother before Harold Henthorn was arrested for the murder of his wife.
...A federal magistrate said earlier she viewed the money transfer as an attempt to hide assets.
Gary Clexton, a special administrator representing the Toni Henthorn estate, said Rob Henthorn has already returned $250,000 to the court and has agreed to return the other $250,000 by Dec. 7.

So... what happened? Did he get sentenced to life in prison??
TIA!! :seeya:
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit has affirmed the conviction of Harold Henthorn, who authorities say killed his second wife, Dr. Toni Henthorn, by pushing her off Deer Mountain in Rocky Mountain National Park in 2012. In so doing, the jurists unanimously rejected Henthorn's argument that the original court biased the jury against him by allowing testimony about the suspicious death of Henthorn's first wife, Lynn, and a serious accident suffered by Toni the year before her death.
The 10th Circuit acknowledge that "evidence of crimes, wrongs, or other acts is prohibited under the Federal Rules of Evidence when used 'to prove a persons character in order to show that on a particular occasion the person acted in accordance with the character.'" But the passage goes on to note that "such evidence is permitted, however, 'for another purpose, such as proving motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan, knowledge, identity, absence of mistake, or lack of accident.'"
