We’ve followed the murder of David Grunwald<\/a> with some interest, in great part because the murder site was (somewhat) proximate to the Knik River murder sites of Robert Hansen. Now we have updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In May 2018, Eric Almandinger was convicted of nine charges, including first degree murder, in the death of David Grunwald. That December, another jury convicted co-defendant Dominic Johnson of nine charges, also including first degree murder, in Grunwald’s death. Suspects Bradley Renfro and Austin Barrett are scheduled to go to trial <\/a>together in Fairbanks in August 2019. A judge cited publicity in the two other Knik River murder cases as the reason for the move<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During an April 18, 2019 status hearing, Palmer District Attorney Roman Kalytiak asked the judge to delay sentencing until 2020 and have all the co-defendants sentenced together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHave all of them set for sentencing the same week,\u201d Kalytiak suggested. \u201cWe already got a hint from the first set of motion practice that there\u2019s going to be some finger-pointing and argument some people influenced others. I think having all the sentencings somewhat at the same time period provides rebuttal opportunities for those who are called the more mature people and significant players in this case.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judge Gregory Heath didn\u2019t decide on a sentencing date but set another status hearing for some time in July or August 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n
