Three members of New Castle County Courthouse shooter Thomas Matusiewicz’s family were found guilty Friday` in a first of its kind federal cyber-stalking case.
The jury was unanimous is deciding Matusiewicz’ wife Lenore and children David Matusiewicz and Amy Gonzalez were guilty on all charges of interstate cyber-stalking and criminal conspiracy – and their actions led to the death of David’s ex-wife, Christine Belford.
It’s the first conviction in the U.S. in a cyberstalking resulting in death case.
Thomas Matusiewicz shot and killed Belford, in February 2013 following a bitter custody battle over their three children.
After killing Belford and her friend, Beth Mulford, Thomas Matusiewicz killed himself following a shootout with police.
Sentencing is scheduled for October 15th. Cyberstalking resulting in death is punishable by life in prison.
