After deliberating for only two hours, the jury found Jason Warren guilty of all charges in the complaint.
Mrs. Shirley Ortega, Dorothy Ulrich's mother wept as the guilty verdict in Count 1 was read finding Warren guilty of first degree murder as well as the guilty verdicts in the special allegations of torture and killing while lying in wait.
Warren was found guilty of Count 2, first degree murder of Suzanne Seemann as well as the special allegation of multiple murders.
Warren was found guilty of the attempted murders of Jessica Hunt and Terri Vroman Little, Counts 3 and 4.
None of the jurors stayed after the verdict to talk with the family or the attorneys. Mr. Sequeira talked with family members, Ms. Hunt and Ms. Vroman Little after the verdict privately.
Sentencing was not set, it will be after a bifurcation hearing set for December 9 at 8:30 a.m. in front of Judge Timothy Cissna.
Mr. Sequeira told members of the media that the jury was not asked to make a decision about Warren's priors.
That is what the court trial on December 9 is about, Warren's priors are a strike and will add to his sentence. In juvenile court, you just admit to the charges. "It just means Ms. Fleming will present the documents stipulated to in court," said Mr. Sequeira. Warren was convicted of these charges in 2001.
