A New Hampshire jury today rejected an insanity defense and convicted a former Eagle Scout of killing a mother and maiming her young daughter during a machete and knife attack.
The jury of five women and seven men deliberated for 90 minutes yesterday and a short time this morning before returning the guilty verdicts against Christopher Gribble, 21. Gribble had claimed he was insane when he and three friends killed Kimberly Cates, 42, and severely wounded her daughter, Jaimie, then 11, during a October 2009 Mont Vernon, N.H. home invasion.
Gribble now faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.
