    Yavapai County Attorney's OfficeCamp Verde AZ (February 4, 2020) – On Friday, January 31, 2020, a Yavapai County Jury found Jesse Michael Etienne, 21, of Camp Verde, Arizona, guilty of Second Degree Murder.

    The case occurred on July 10, 2018 at approximately 8:30 p.m. on State Route 260, Milepost 208.7 and Western Road in Cottonwood, Arizona. At that time, a Cottonwood police officer observed a vehicle traveling at 107 miles per hour in a posted 55 miles per hour zone.  The driver of the vehicle, later identified as Jesse Etienne, entered a posted 45 mile per hour zone traveling at over 100 miles per hour, running a red light at the intersection of Western Road, striking a pedestrian in the crosswalk causing fatal injuries. The defendant then lost control of his vehicle,  rolled several times, and came to rest approximately a quarter mile from the intersection where he struck the pedestrian. The victim’s body was located near Jesse Etienne’s vehicle.

    On the first day of trial, prior to jury selection, Jesse Etienne pled “No Contest” to the Court to the charges of Possession of Marijuana and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, both class six felonies.

    Yavapai County Attorney Sheila Polk emphasized her gratitude to the jury and the Cottonwood Police Department for their work. She stated, “I’d especially like to thank Trooper Humphrey from the Regional Advanced Collision Team of Arizona Department of Public Safety for his testimony, and his expert training, experience and knowledge that was so crucial to helping the jury understand the case.”

    Jesse Etienne is facing a minimum sentence of 16 years in the Arizona Department of Corrections because he was on felony probation at the time he committed this offense. He is facing a possible maximum sentence of 25 years.  Sentencing is set for March 17, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. before the Honorable Michael R. Bluff, Division 7 of the Yavapai County Superior Court.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
