0

AKRON, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man convicted of fatally shooting
one cousin and injuring another cousin during a home-invasion robbery
could face the death penalty.
The same jury that convicted
20-year-old Bryan D. Giles on Tuesday of aggravated murder and other
charges in Akron will reconvene on March 11 to decide whether to
recommend the death penalty or life in prison.
The Akron Beacon Journal (http://bit.ly/1llDiQ5
) reports that Giles was convicted of fatally shooting his 27-year-old
cousin Jarrell Cunningham in the head last February. Another cousin,
21-year-old Terrell Patterson, was shot twice in the head but survived.
Patterson
was able to call 911 after the attack and testified last week. Police
said Giles confessed less than a week later while being questioned by
detectives.
