Former Marine Convicted for the Murder of IU Professor Don Belton

Yesterday, Ex-marine Michael Griffin was found guilty of murdering IU professor Don Belton.

A Monroe County Circuit Court jury late Thursday found Michael Griffin guilty of murder, deciding that he intended to kill Don Belton when he stabbed him 22 times in December 2009.
The verdict came after about 12 hours of deliberations. The 26-year-old faces 45 to 65 years in prison when sentenced.

Griffin testified Wednesday that he didn't remember stabbing the 53-year-old Belton. Jurors could have convicted him of the lesser voluntary manslaughter if they found the killing was committed in the heat of anger.

This is a sad ending to a horrible situation. I hope that Michael gets some type of help.

Thanks to Topher for the heads up.
