The jury also found Franz Cabrera guilty of second-degree murder in the incident, while Joch Pouk was found guilty of manslaughter.

Cabrera was sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 15 years.

Pouk was sentenced to seven years, but was given credit for time already served. He is eligible for parole in two years.

Both Cabrera and Pouk have also filed appeals of their convictions and sentences.

A warrant remains out for Nathan Gervais. He is accused of first-degree-murder in the case. He was out on bail when he disappeared right before the trial.
