Man Orchestrated Murder Without Touching Sword | Santa Fe News
Description
A Santa Fe man, Isaac Apodaca, 29, has been convicted of first-degree murder in the October 2022 killing of Grace Jennings — despite not wielding the sword himself. He allegedly manipulated his girlfriend, Kiara McCulley, 23, into committing the stabbing in a garage at her mother’s home. McCulley has already pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and conspiracy, facing up to 30 years. Apodaca remained silent throughout his trial, refusing to testify, but the jury found him guilty of orchestrating the crime. The case now moves to sentencing, underscoring how manipulation and indirect involvement can still lead to the harshest legal consequences.
