A jury on Friday found Andre McDonald guilty on a lesser charge of manslaughter in the death of his wife, Andreen McDonald, in 2019.
They had the choice to consider murder or manslaughter in their deliberations.
According to court testimony, Andre McDonald gave investigators conflicting statements on his wife’s whereabouts and then stopped cooperating after hiring an attorney. The prosecution also said the defendant tried to cover his tracks by beating his wife’s remains with a hammer and then burning them.The prosecution said the jury needs to find Andre McDonald guilty of murder because he “intentionally or knowingly” killed his wife.
Defense attorney John Convery argued that Andre McDonald takes responsibility for the things he’s done all his life, including the death of his wife. Convery said that Andre McDonald called his sister-in-law and mother-in-law three days before the trial started to tell them his side of the story.
