a new trial, after Henthorn claimed his trial attorney “acted in his own self-interest, was dishonest” and committed fraud in the course of defending Henthorn.Judge Brooke Jackson rejected Henthorn’s arguments saying one of Henthorn’s arguments ‘lacks any semblance of merit’. Jackson, who presided over Henthorn’s federal murder trial, said Henthorn’s trial attorney, Craig Truman, ‘did extensive preparation’ and made ‘strategic choices.. not poor preparation’.
A federal jury convicted Henthorn of pushing his second wife, Toni, off a cliff in Rocky Mountain National Park in 2012. Prosecutors theorized Henthorn would have been the beneficiary of $4.7 million in life insurance he had taken out on his wife.

In his statement of claims against Truman, Henthorn wrote that Truman, “acted in his own self-interest and put his personal financial gain ahead of conducting a solid defense for me. His employment with me,” wrote Henthorn, “was all about him taking as much money from me and my immediate family as possible, extorting as much money from me as he could.”“In return, he provided no defense — and explained to me only after it was too late — that he had sold me down the river.
Todd Bertolet, one of Toni Henthorn’s brothers, told CBS4,”As stated in the Victim Impact Statement, the public needs to be able to forget Harold Henthorn, as he does not belong in anyone’s future. The latest appeal ruling and denial reaffirm Henthorn’s separation from society and his rightful identity as Inmate 40752013.CBS4 Investigator Brian Maass has been with the station more than 30 years uncovering waste, fraud and corruption.
