Capital Gazette shooting trial verdict: Jury finds gunman criminally responsible in killing five people in newsroom
Three years and 17 days after the mass shooting, an Anne Arundel County jury ruled Thursday the man who killed five Capital Gazette employees was sane, and therefore criminally responsible, during the attack that shocked the tight-knit town of Annapolis and that he is culpable for his crimes.
It took under two hours for a jury to reach their verdict. The convicted murderer now faces as many as five life sentences without the possibility of parole.
