BREAKING: Dallas hospital shooting suspect Nestor Hernandez found guilty of capital murder

A Dallas County jury on Thursday found a 31-year-old man guilty of capital murder in last year's deadly shooting at Dallas Methodist Hospital. Nestor Hernandez was convicted in the Oct. 22, 2022, shooting, which killed social worker Jacqueline Pokuaa and nurse Annette Flowers. Family members of the two victims were able to speak directly to Hernandez after the verdict came down. After the verdict was handed down, Judge Chika Anyiam sentenced Hernandez to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Prosecutors had opted to not pursue the death penalty in Hernandez's case. The jury on Thursday deliberated Hernandez's fate for about an hour and a half, after hearing closing arguments earlier in the day. The jurors began deliberating a verdict at 1:45 p.m. Around 2:15 p.m., the red light in the courtroom flickered on. The jury was requesting to review the body camera footage of Sgt. Robert Rangel and the hospital surveillance video. The jury then continued deliberations until around 3:15 p.m., when they returned with a verdict. Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot delivered closings for the prosecution. "This man [...] was walking resentment, rage, anger with a plan to kill," Creuzot said. "And he took all of that into that place where new life, new birth, new hopes, new plans are the only things that are supposed to reside in that tower. And what he took in there was death two times." Hernandez's defense attorney, Paul Johnson, asked the jury to consider a lesser charge for the defendant. "We have various destinations that you can arrive at in your deliberations that you heard in the courtroom this week," Johnson said. "It could be capital murder. It shouldn't be, but it could be. It could be murder. It could be manslaughter. It could be negligent homicide." FULL STORY: https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/loc...
