Appeals Court Upholds Conviction Of Michael Blagg
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (AP) ―
The Colorado Court of Appeals has upheld the conviction of a Grand Junction man found guilty of killing his wife.
The court ruled Thursday in the case of Michael Blagg, 44. He was convicted of first-degree murder in 2004 and sentenced to life in prison for the death of his wife, Jennifer.
Blagg reported her and their 6-year-old daughter, Abby, missing in November 2001. Searchers found Jennifer Blagg's body in a landfill 7 months later.
Abby remains missing and is presumed dead.
Michael Blagg's attorneys argued jurors should not have heard about his addiction to Internet pornography, nor should a retired criminal profiler been allowed to testify.
Jennifer Blagg would have been 41 this past Tuesday.
