There was no jury misconduct, says the jury foreman in the case of Harold Fish, even though the defense has argued to the contrary. The jury, says Michael Nelson, did not make a hasty decision when it convicted Fish of second-degree murder.Fish, a retired Valley school teacher and father of seven, was accused of the May 11, 2004, shooting death of Kuenzli. The two men met in the late afternoon at a trailhead in the southeastern portion of Coconino County. Fish claimed that Kuenzli and two dogs in his care rushed at him. The trial ended in Fish’s conviction in mid-June.
