Verdict in Leadville Murder Reached Almost 5 Years Later

A verdict of Guilty was reached on Friday in the murder case of Maria Day, also known in Leadville as Linda Martinez. 

Day was found guilty of 2nd degree murder in the death of John Martinez.  Day ran over Mr. Martinez on James Street in Leadville in July of 2015.   

The trial was moved to Clear Creek County when an insufficient number of impartial jurors could not be found in Lake County. 

Day is in the custody of the Colorado Department of Corrections where she will remain until her sentencing, which has not been set.
