FALL RIVER, Mass. (AP) — The jurors who convicted former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez of murder aren't discussing the nature of their deliberations, but they say there were tears in the jury room. Jurors spoke to the media today after finding Hernandez guilty on all charges, including first-degree murder. One juror said the fact that Odin Lloyd was shot six times helped him determine that Hernandez used extreme atrocity or cruelty in committing the killing. Hernandez has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
GOLDSBORO, N.C. (AP) — A police report says the man who's accused of killing a print shop director at a North Carolina community college worker got to Florida by hitchhiking. The report says a woman picked up Kenneth Stancil after his motorcycle broke down in South Carolina and dropped him off in Daytona Beach, where he was arrested early yesterday. He's awaiting extradition back to North Carolina.
DALLAS (AP) — A Dallas-area man suspected of killing two people and wounding another in Oregon has been fatally shot by police in Texas. Dallas police say officers killed Colby Robinson last night during a chase in DeSoto, 15 miles south of Dallas. A bystander was wounded. Robinson had been charged with two counts of aggravated murder in the Friday night shooting deaths of Gary Pham and his sister-in-law, Susie Pham.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Recent disclosures that a Nevada prison inmate was shot dead by a prison guard in November are bringing to light other previously unreported shootings at High Desert State Prison outside Las Vegas. Records show officers at that facility fired guns 215 times in five years from 2007 to 2011. In January of 2012, six inmates were wounded by shotgun blasts from a guard breaking up a breakfast scuffle. Accounts of the shootings are found in federal and state lawsuits reviewed by The Associated Press.
NEW YORK (AP) — Federal officials say several persons of interest are being pursued in the unsolved 2008 bombing at a Times Square military recruitment station, and authorities are asking the public for help. No one was injured in the blast, but police and the FBI say people walked by moments before the device detonated. Officials say the explosion may be connected to other unsolved early morning bicycle bombings in New York: one at the British Consulate in May 2005 and the other at the Mexican Consulate in October 2007.
