Three Convicted in “Xbox Slayings”

It took a jury of seven woman and five men about six hours to find that three men were guilty in the so-called Xbox murders in Florida.

The jury convicted Troy Victorino, 29; Michael Salas, 20; and Jerone Hunter, 20, of first-degree murder Tuesday afternoon in St. Augustine, Florida.

The men orchestrated a revenge killing of six people after one of the victims, Erin Belanger, 22, had Victorino evicted from her grandmother's house and kept some of his belongings, including an Xbox

The jury still has to decide on whether the trio will get life in prison or death by lethal injection. Good thing Florida isn't using the chair anymore, that was never pretty.

I love how the fact that one of the smallest details in the case managed to land in just about every headline. Why not call it the eviction murders or the clothing murders?
