The trial that convicted Joseph Carroll lasted nearly two months and was characterized by troubling witness behavior, including retractions and intimidation, raising questions about the justice system's integrity.
Following the guilty verdict, Joseph Carroll expressed his anguish in the courtroom, asserting his innocence and exclaiming to his mother, 'Momma, I didn't do it. I didn't kill these people.'
His mother, distressed by the verdict, confronted the jury declaring, 'You people convicted an innocent man. That's what you guys did,' indicating her belief in his wrongful conviction.
The jury found Carroll guilty of two first-degree murder counts but reduced one to second degree, illustrating the complex nature of the case and evidentiary concerns.
