WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- Separate Palm Beach County juries
have convicted two men in the gang rape and assault of a mother and
her son during a home invasion two years ago.
The first jury deliberated 5 1/2 hours Friday before convicting
20-year-old Tommy Poindexter of rape, kidnapping, assault and
burglary. He faces multiple life terms. A second jury returned less
than two hours later, convicting 18-year-old Nathan Walker of
similar charges.
The two were tried together but with separate juries. A third
defendant, 16-year-old Avion Lawson, pleaded guilty and testified
against Poindexter and Walker. A fourth defendant, 17-year-old
Jakaris Taylor, is set for trial next month.
Authorities say they identified the defendants with fingerprints
and DNA. They are still seeking additional suspects.
