'Taberon, you robbed us,' said her cousin, Betsy China. 'Twenty-five years of missing out on her knowledge, her ability to read at a higher level and comprehend and help us.'
SALT LAKE CITY — Family members of a woman killed in a 1998 murder pressed Utah officials Tuesday to carry on with the perpetrator's scheduled execution during emotional testimony about a crime that still traumatizes their close-knit Native American community.
"Taberon, you robbed us," said her cousin, Betsy China."Twenty-five years of missing out on her knowledge, her ability to read at a higher level and comprehend and help us." "She fought for her life. She saved her grandkids, too. That's a strong Paiute woman right there," Azule testified during the second day of the two-day hearing at the Utah State Correctional Facility in Salt Lake City.
He said he never planned to kill Benn and doesn't remember much about the killing, but acknowledged that the attack made him a"monster."
