Conviction in restaurateur’s murder
After four hours of deliberations today, a federal jury in Tennessee disregarded the testimony of a government witness who changed his story on the stand and convicted the defendant, Rejon Taylor, of the 2003 murder of Atlanta restaurateur Guy Luck, Chattanoogan.com reports.
The jury will now enter the sentencing phase of the trial, during which it will decide whether Taylor deserves the death penalty.
Luck, who owned Violette on Clairmont Road, was kidnapped in Atlanta and driven to Tennessee, where he was shot to death by his captors — two of whom testified against Taylor in order to be spared the death penalty.
