A Utah man was ordered to spend at least 15 years and up to life in prison for brutally killing his wife in their Midvale home in 2020.
SALT LAKE CITY — A father was ordered Wednesday to spend at least 15 years and up to life in prison for brutally killing his wife, Utahna Halona, in their Midvale home in 2020.
"She is the peacemaker. She is the one that would always bring us together and give us the strength to smile and laugh," Silversmith said. She said her daughter, who is full Navajo, is now part of the statistics of murdered and missing indigenous women — one she does not want to be ignored. Erickson's attorney, Brenda Viera, said her client decided to accept the plea deal to spare his children from needing to testify about serious and private matters at a jury trial. She said after he saw the plan for upcoming hearings, he asked to go ahead with the plea.
Halona's younger sister Desiree Raulston said the night she learned her sister had been killed — Oct. 28, 2020 — was the worst night of her life. The situation, she said, was an "entirely different monster" from other deaths with which she has dealt.Multiple siblings spoke on how they heard about their sister's death via phone calls and what they did to support each other and the children that evening.
