Another guilty verdict:
Quote:
A Cook County jury convicted a South Side man Tuesday night in the infamous murder of Derrion Albert, a Fenger High School sophomore whose videotaped fatal beating sparked a national debate on youth violence.
The jury of nine men and three women deliberated for about 3 1/2 hours before finding Silvonus Shannon, 20, guilty of first-degree murder. The verdict was announced in Circuit Judge Nicholas Ford's courtroom at about 9:30 p.m.
The verdict marked the second conviction in the high-profile murder case. Last month a 15-year-old boy was found delinquent in juvenile court. Three other defendants, all charged as adults, are awaiting trial.
