Two Plantation men accused of fatally beating a homeless man with a baseball bat and injuring two others were found guilty this morning of second-degree murder.
Thomas Daugherty, 19, and Brian Hooks, 21, were also convicted of two counts of attempted second-degree murder in the Jan. 12, 2006, spate of attacks on homeless men in Fort Lauderdale.The men face possible life prison terms when they're sentenced Oct. 22-23.
Prosecutors had sought first-degree murder convictions for both defendants.
After the verdicts were read, Daughterty started crying while Hooks kept a blank look on his face. Daugherty later shook prosecutors' hands.
Jurors reached their verdict after deliberating about a couple of hours this morning.
Jurors spent seven hours deliberating Thursday before Broward Circuit Judge Cynthia Imperato sent them home.
