Anthony Dennis Grayson, who acted as his own attorney, was convicted Tuesday of first-degree murder in a fatal stabbing inside a Dollar Store in Adams County.
A jury returned the guilty verdict following a long-delayed, four-day trial in Adams County District Court, the 17th Judicial District Attorney's Office said.
The stabbing of Alejandro Alvear occurred Sept. 1, 2016, at 7067 Pecos Street, near the Denver city limits, and Grayson, 51, now faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The DA's office said:
"Witnesses, including a store employee, stated that Grayson demanded money back from Mr. Alvear and threatened to stab him if he refused. The incident was captured on store surveillance video. Grayson was taken into custody at the scene and later charged."
"The case experienced multiple delays due to issues related to the defendant’s competency. Ultimately, he was found competent to proceed and chose to represent himself at trial."
