The state rested Monday in the 2011 deadly property dispute trial in which Birdseye-area resident John Michael “Mike” Crites was allegedly killed by his neighbor. Leon Ford was charged for Crites’ death in September 2020 following a deacades long dispute between the two men over road access that began in 2002. Crites’ remains were found in garbage bags on MacDonald Pass off of Lime Quarry Hills Road.
