KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) — A driver was found guilty Tuesday of all 14 counts against him, including second-degree murder, in the 2016 Kalamazoo cycling tragedy.
Charles Pickett Jr. was convicted of five counts of second-degree murder, five counts of operating while intoxicated causing death and four counts of operating while intoxicated causing serious injury.
Pickett was stoic as the verdict was announced around 4:40 p.m. Meanwhile, one juror fought back tears. In the gallery, one of the survivors of the cycling crash covered her face and cried.
"Justice has been served in this case," Kalamazoo County Prosecutor Jeff Getting said outside the courthouse later.
