ORANGE COUNTY, N.Y. -- A jury has reached a verdict in Todd Sinclair's murder trial. Jurors found Sinclair guilty of murder in the second degree.

The jury had been deliberating the case since Tuesday morning.

Sinclair was accused of killing Randy Kizer, 21, last February in Port Jervis.

Prosecutors say the jury rejected Sinclair’s defense of extreme emotional disturbance, finding that he intentionally shot and killed Kizer.

Sinclair took the stand during the trial. He testified he took a semiautomatic gun, pointed it at Kizer and fired shots.

The prosecution says it happened over a girl. The defense had argued Sinclair acted out as a result of a mental disorder or extreme emotional disturbance.

Jurors found Sinclair guilty of murder in the second degree, criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree and reckless endangerment. He faces 25 years to life when he's sentenced.
