A man facing execution for 1998 murder addresses Utah parole board, asks for life sentence instead
A man facing execution next month for the murder his girlfriend’s mother asked state officials Monday to spare his life, saying he is not the same person he was when he killed the woman after a day of drinking and using drugs. Taberon Dave Honie told the Utah parole board that he never planned to kill 49-year-old Claudia Benn and doesn’t remember much about the killing, which happened when Benn’s three grandchildren, including Honie’s 2-year-old daughter, were in her home.

What I’m asking today for this board to consider is ‘Would you allow me to exist?’,” he said during the first day of a two-day hearing at the Utah State Correctional Facility in Salt Lake City. Honie said he wanted to continue to be able to be there for his mother and his daughter, who is in recovery for substance abuse, but he acknowledged that killing his daughter’s grandmother devastated her family.
