With the land in question a checkerboard ownership of Navajo, other private landholders and the U.S. government, the ultimate fate of the mine may depend on who wins jurisdiction in court. Regardless, the Navajo syllables To eii be iina at e (Water is life) have become fighting words in Crownpoint...

Nine months later, after it became clear that the case would depend heavily on witnesses with criminal pasts or shaky memories and that physical evidence linking Markhasev to the murder weapon was sorely needed, the cap was checked again. This time, technicians found a single, rooted hair, one that matched the defendant's with a probability...
