Hopkins guilty on all charges in murder; sentencing not yet set
YOUNGSTOWN
Jurors found a man guilty on all charges in the murder of a man on the East Side in 2013.
A sentencing date for Anthony Hopkins, 38, of West Dewey Ave., has yet to be set.
Hopkins was convicted Friday in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court on charges of aggravated murder, tampering with evidence and intimidation of a victim or witness to a crime in the Sept. 28, 2013, death of Frank James Brown, 36.
Hopkins appeared calm as Judge Shirley J. Christian read the verdicts that jurors reached after deliberating most of the day. Jurors began deliberating at 9 a.m. and delivered their verdicts near 2:35 p.m., about 24 hours from the time they received the case Thursday.
The verdicts capped off a trial that began Tuesday.
