A New Jersey jury has rejected a Florida
man's claims that he was too fat to kill his former son-in-law and
has convicted him of murder.
The jury of eight women and four men issued its verdict against
Edward Ates on Friday, its second day of deliberations
after a trial that lasted more than a month.
Ates said he didn't have the energy to accurately shoot his
former son-in-law and make a quick getaway to Louisiana.
The 62-year-old was 285 pounds when Paul Duncsak (DUNS'-kak) was
killed in 2006.
Prosecutors said Ates drove from Florida to Duncsak's home in
New Jersey, climbed a staircase and shot the 40-year-old.
The victim and Ates' daughter were involved in a bitter custody
dispute after their divorce.
