An Evansville man was found guilty of multiple charges stemming from a violent burglary last fall.
Marquell M. Jackson, 23, was convicted of all nine counts against him including two Level 1 felonies of burglary resulting in serious bodily injury, aggravated battery, attempted armed robbery and attempted armed robbery resulting in serious bodily injury.
This comes after a four-day trial before Vanderburgh Circuit Court Magistrate Kelli Fink. The jury deliberated for about 40 minutes.
Jackson and his co-defendants are accused of trying to steal drugs and money from the apartments located at the 711 Tavern on 711 E. Virginia Street on Oct. 26, 2015. A shooting broke out between the group of men trying to steal the items and the victims and resulted in serious injuries.
Jackson also was found guilty of a gang enhancement that will double his sentence. He will be sentenced at 10 a.m. on Aug. 12.
