CORUNNA, Mich. (AP) - A trucker has been found guilty of first-degree murder in the shootings of a Christian anti-abortion picketer and a businessman last September.
A Michigan jury convicted 34-year-old Harlan Drake, rejecting his insanity defense.
At his trial, Drake told jurors that he deserved to die for killing James Pouillon (POOL'-yuhn) and Mike Fuoss in Owosso, west of Flint.
Drake's mother had worked at Fuoss' company and had disputes with the owner. Drake testified that he didn't like Pouillon picketing outside Owosso High School with a graphic anti-abortion sign.
Michigan doesn't allow capital punishment, so Drake faces life in prison without parole.
