Guzman showed no emotion as he was convicted of felony hit and run. On Labor Day 2006 ... 11 year old Dallen McEntire was knee boarding on Shaver Lake when a boat hit him. The collision left McEntire with life threatening injuries. Guzman was convicted of driving that boat and failing to stop after the incident.
Jurors deliberated nearly a full day before returning a guilty verdict. We spoke with Dallen's father over the phone. Jeff McEntire said this has been very difficult on their family.
A judge remanded Guzman into custody because of the serious allegations and Guzman has a prior DUI conviction. He now faces up to three years in prison.
The McEntire family will have a chance to address Roger Guzman when he is sentenced next month. Guzman's defense attorney expects the judge to likely sentence Guzman to more time in custody.
