Janitor Guilty Of Manslaughter...Not Murder
KENTUCKY....
A jury in Lexington has convicted a former school janitor in the fatal shooting of another custodian, but found him guilty of a lesser charge. A Fayette Circuit Court jury deliberated for about 4 1/2 hours on Tuesday, then found Brian Allen McGuire guilty of first-degree manslaughter. McGuire had been charged with murder in the June 2009 killing of 38-year-old Jose Daniel Donato at Leestown Middle School. The jury also convicted the 28-year-old McGuire of unlawful possession of a weapon on school property. Jurors recommended a 20-year prison term when McGuire is sentenced on December 10th.
