A man is found guilty of first degree murder.
This is video of Qwante Rose, once accused and now convicted of killing 19-year-old Jaydin Sanderson on New Years Day in 2022.
A group of family and friends of Sanderson were in attendance each day of the trial getting emotional several times.
Sanderson’s Father ended up being banned from the courtroom for the trial last Thursday for an emotionally charged moment of pointing at and talking to Qwante Rose.
The jury deliberated for over two hours this afternoon after the day began with closing arguments from both sides.
During their close prosecutors saying Rose’s DNA being found on Sanderson’s pants and marks on a gun shell casing found in the back seat of Sanderson’s car matching casings found in a different case Rose is connected to were two main points in their evidence.
In the end the jury agreed with prosecutors argument that Rose is responsible for Sanderson’s death.
Rose was also found guilty of two counts of aggravated assault and reckless endangerment.
First degree murder carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison.
“Glad he got what he deserved. He’s an animal. Like I said straight from prison right to hell.”
