JOHN HART, STATE JOURNAL
Chandler Halderson is led out of a Dane County courtroom after a jury found him guilty Thursday of killing and dismembering his parents last summer.
Circuit Judge John Hyland receives the verdicts from the jury, which convicted Chandler Halderson on eight counts relating to the deaths of his parents, Bart and Krista Halderson.
In a closing statement, Assistant District Attorney Andrea Raymond walks jurors through events from July 1, when Bart and Krista Halderson are believed to have been murdered, to July 8, when Chandler Halderson was arrested.
While seemingly conceding Chandler Halderson was guilty of some charges, defense attorney Crystal Vera asks the jury to consider whether there was reasonable doubt in the two first-degree intentional homicide charges.
