After a four-week-long trial and a day and a half of deliberation, a jury in Portland has found Jeremy Christian guilty of all counts, including two counts of first-degree murder and a count of first-degree attempted murder. On May 26, 2017, Christian stabbed and killed two men and injured a third on a Portland MAX light rail train.
“It’s been a long, emotional ride,” Hudson told media after the verdict announcement. “It’s been very hard for them, and I’m just glad to see that I can go home and tell them that it’s OK now.” Prosecutors also charged Christian with an assault from the day before, when they say he went on a similar racist rant and assaulted Demetria Hester, who is also black.
“In that 11 seconds, [the] defendant has inflicted 11 stab wounds on three grown men,” Howes said. “It’s indisputable that the defendant did these things that were alleged.”
