FRESNO, Calif. (AP) - Marcus Wesson has been found guilty of all the charges against him.
Jurors have just delivered their verdict of guilty on nine counts of murder of nine of his children. They also found Wesson guilty on 14 counts of raping and molesting his underage daughters and nieces.
The murders took place during a police standoff at his home on March 12th of last year. When police first arrived, Wesson talked with officers for about an hour at the door, then went into the back bedroom and shut the door. Wesson eventually emerged from the house, and when police went inside they found a bloody pile of bodies that shocked even veteran officers.
The killings were the worst mass murder in Fresno history. Wesson is now facing the death penalty.
