Sammy Quintana, faced with the prospect of the death penalty and facing additional charges for a separate, unrelated murder, agreed to testify against Francisco Martinez and Danny Martinez in exchange for a sentence of 96 years.

They let me down, they let Brandy down”, the mother wept to a news reporter who interviewed her after the commutations. “It makes it like it was a waste of time”, she said. “It makes it like he got away with it”.
My job is to teach you to think like a lawyer. If you think like a lawyer, you craft your concerns around the letter of the law, not the emotional and sentimental fluff of your conscience. The law is a rational enterprise. Argument and reason are your tools. You are not moralists. You are not theologians. You are not philosophers. You are lawyers. You must learn to think like a lawyer.

The District Attorney agreed to the deal, and Davis pointed out on a map where he and Fincham had left their victim. At the location, in the middle of a wheat field, police found the nude, bullet-riddled body of 33-year-old Virginia May.The case went all the way to the US Supreme Court, which, in a 7-2 decision, held that it was in violation of the Constitution for a judge, without a jury, to impose death sentences on convicts.

"There has undoubtedly been some rehabilitation of his character and his demeanor", Governor Romer wrote in his denial. "But I do not believe that whatever remorse or rehabilitation that is displayed here justifies reaching that extraordinary event that would cause this governor to grant him clemency".
Davis served less than a year in prison for that crime, but, after his release, his deviant behavior continued. Just months after getting out of prison, Davis set his sights on the 15-year-old daughter of one of his wife's friends. One night, he cornered the girl and raped her while holding a knife to her throat. One officer noticed car lights in the distance, so he drove over to investigate. The deputy caught up with the car and turned on his police lights, signaling the car to pull over. He identified the occupants of the car as Gary Davis and Rebecca Fincham.What are you folks doing out here?", the deputy asked the couple. "Oh, we were just going fishing", Fincham responded. "Is everything alright?" Ginny May just went missing from the ranch down the road", the deputy continued, aware that one of the May children had implicated the couple in Ginny's disappearance. "I don't suppose you know where she is?" Truman was frustrated beyond belief at Davis' shenanigans. But, despite his case being sabotaged by his own client, Truman still attempted to save Davis from the gas chamber.
Fincham said that she had some used clothing to give to Ginny's two children, and told her they would come by to drop them off. As most people know, I am a supporter of the death penalty, and I cannot help but express my firm and ardent opposition to this bill. The death penalty must remain a legal punishment for certain heinous and depraved murderers, and I urge Colorado's legislature to defeat this bill and keep capital punishment on the books. Since their marriage two years earlier, the sex life between Gary Davis and Rebecca Fincham had withered, and Davis was once again setting his sights on new targets. And, while he was working on the ranch in Byers, other women had the misfortune of falling under his predatory gaze. Then, Francisco and Danny dragged Brandy into the bathroom, and, ignoring the girl’s screams, sliced her anus open with a knife to have anal sex with her.After this was done, Davis and Fincham decided that Ginny May would have to die. Ginny pleaded with her captors to spare her life. She begged Davis not to kill her, promising him she wouldn't tell anyone. After the presence of a male ranchhand had scared the couple off, Davis and Fincham instead decided to abduct Ginny May. On May 27, 1999, the panel unanimously voted to sentence Francisco Martinez Jr. to death by lethal injection for the murder of Brandy Duvall.
