Colorado’s Death Row
Robert Ray was convicted
and received a jury's death determination in
2009 for the murder of a young couple, Javad
Marshall-Fields and his fiancee, Vivian Wolfe.
Javad Marshall-Fields was to be a prosecution
witness in another murder trial involving Ray.
Ray was formally sentenced to death on May

the death penalty for his involvement in the
killing of the couple.

Ray Formally Sentenced to Death
Arapahoe County District Court Judge Gerald
Rafferty today formalized what a jury did
almost a year earlier: sentenced Ray to
the death penalty for killing Javad Marshall-Fields.
... The judge sentenced Ray, 24, to be
executed by lethal injection in August.
But since appeal and review by the Colorado
Supreme Court automatically kicks in on
death penalty sentences, it could be a
decade or longer until his sentence is
meted out. (5/5/10, The Denver Post)

Case
Sentencing has been delayed a second time for
a man facing execution in the death of an Aurora
trial witness. A judge was to hand down the
death penalty Thursday for 23-year-old Robert
Ray, but he delayed that until Oct. 16 so he
could hear defense motions about trial testimony
and at about least one juror. (9/11/09, The

Ray Receives Death Penalty
Arapahoe County jurors have decided that
a convicted killer should be executed. Robert
Ray, 23, was convicted last month on two
counts of first-degree murder in the 2005
shooting deaths of Javad Marshall-Fields
and his fiancée, Vivian Wolfe. Marshall-Fields
was a week away from testifying against Ray
in another murder trial when he was killed.
Jurors came to a decision this morning, and
the judge asked all parties to be in court
at 11 a.m. to hear the verdict. It was announced
that Ray will receive the death penalty.
