 An Evansville man accused of stabbing a man multiple times last year was found guilty of attempted murder Tuesday evening following a two-day trial.

Prosecutors believe Kevin N. Eastwood, 25, attacked and stabbed a man with a knife during a burglary on July 1, 2015, in the 2000 block of Westbrook Boulevard. A second victim, a woman, also received a wound during the incident.

Eastwood was found guilty of Attempted Murder, a Level 1 felony, and Battery by Means of a Deadly Weapon, a Level 5 felony, after the jury deliberated for about three hours.

A sentencing date is expected to be set later today. Eastwood could spend up to 40 years in prison for the crimes.
