Michigan Retailer Shooter Convicted

Jevon Sawyer was found guilty yesterday of several counts related to the April 8, 2008 assault of retailer David Pirkola. After an eight-hour jury deliberation, the third of three defendants that faced charges from the assault -- and the shooter -- was found guilty of assault with intent to rob while armed, guilty of assault with intent to do great bodily harm, carrying a concealed weapon, and using a firearm in the commission of a felony. The first carries a potential life sentence. Sawyer will be sentenced on January 21. He is 20 years old.

Pirkola told the reporter he was satisfied with the verdict. More on Pirkola can be found in the article leading up to the conviction here.
