Jury finds Terrance Lee guilty of second-degree murder

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- The man who shot and killed an Edison High School football player two years ago is now a convicted murderer.

A jury found Terrance Lee guilty of second-degree murder in the shooting death of Marquis Sutton.

Lee loaded a revolver with a single bullet, spun the cylinder, aimed at Sutton, and pulled the trigger twice. On the second pull, he killed the 18-year-old.

His defense attorney claimed Lee had a mental disability that kept him from understanding how dangerous it was to do what he did.

Sutton's mother told Action News justice was served on Monday, and her son can now rest in peace.

"Now, I can continue to take care of my kids and support my family without worrying about this man not taking account for what he did to my son," said Sherri Wise.

Lee will be sentenced next month to 40 years to life in prison.
