THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2002 New Mexico state funds are being used to prosecute a man convicted of murdering a Navajo woman. According to The Farmington Daily-Times, $350,000 was used to prosecute Robert Ray Fry during a trial where he was found guilty of beating and stabbing Betty Lee, a Navajo mother, to death. He sits on death row for this conviction. Now, a request for $235,000 to prosecute Fry in another murder case has been approved. Fry also awaits trial for the death of Donald Tsosie, a Navajo man. Ed. Note: Due an editing error, the word "defend" was used in place of "prosecute" in an earlier version of the summary. Get the Story:
