And there was another conviction in the Supreme Court yesterday. 25 year old Lloyd King charged with the murder of 28 year old Ronald Rivers pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter. That was in a trial without a jury yesterday before Justice Marilyn Williams.
Rivers, a well known basketball player, was shot and killed in March of 2013. He had stopped on Youth for The Future Drive to fix his car when King rode up on a bicycle and fired a single fatal shot.
A police and BDF patrol was in the area and they saw King riding away from the scene. They pursued King and found him with a .38 revolver.
Today, after a plea for mitigation was heard from King's grandmother his sentencing was set for February 20.
