FLASH: Carpio guilty on all 3 counts

PROVIDENCE -- Esteban Carpio has been found guilty of killing a Providence police officer at headquarters last year.

The 12-person jury deliberated about nine hours over two days before convicting Carpio on all three counts against him.

The highly-anticipated verdict followed a case that asked jurors to decide whether Carpio was a calculating criminal or a psychotic who did not know what he was doing.

After the verdict was read, a couple of hushed "thank God's" could be heard in the standing-room-only crowd in Superior Court courtroom.

More to come...
