Tyler Found Guilty
He brutally beat and killed and elderly woman. Today a jury found Kelvin
Tyler guilty of the crime.
Kelvin Tyler showed no emotion when the verdict was read. They found Tyler
guilty of aggravated murder, robbery and burglary.
Tyler lived down the hall from 75-year-old Rubie Petterson at Flory
Gardens and beat her in her apartment so badly she later died.
Jurors spent more than 16 hours deliberating.
Prosecutor Andy Lastra, says, "You have to consider they were looking at
about 85 different items of evidence. They had surveillance video tapes to
which they had statements of Mr. Tyler to reconsider. We certainly
wouldn't want them to have rushed over the course of 2 or 3 hours with all
those items of evidence because there is a concern they didn't fairly
consider it all."
Tyler could get the death penalty. Jurors will head back to the courthouse
tomorrow to decide his fate.
