John Stuart found guilty.

Shock. Deep sadness.

From his daughter Patty:

Please say a prayer for John Stuart....

Hi Everyone,

Very sad outcome.  Are there any useful objections preserved to form a viable appeal?  IIRC, the small snippets that came from his defense attorney early on suggested gigantic procedural wrong-doing on the part of the MCOA, the Clerk, and the Superior Court, itself.  A real miscarriage.

It is amazing how badly the AP has erred in the story.  But it did get one quote:

"Although this defendant attempted to justify his actions by claiming self-defense, this jury was able to clearly able to apply the important distinction Arizona law makes between the legitimate and illegitimate use of deadly force," remarked Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery.  "While nothing will ever fully assuage the grief felt by the victim's family and friends for the loss of their loved one, today's result at least provides a measure of justice for a senseless act of violence," he added.

I am saddened to see that in Arizona a man can get out of his car in anger, be an extreme DUI (0.19) and place his arms inside a seat belted driver's car on the driver side and a shot rings out and it is the seat belted driver who is charged with both 2nd Degree murder AND laughably "drive by shooting."  

I am dismayed a 12 person jury would convict on either charge.
