Mark Becker found guilty of first-degree murder in death of high school coach Ed Thomas - ESPN
The trial largely centered on Becker’s mental status on the day of the shooting. Prosecutors and defense attorneys agreed that Becker shot Thomas and that Becker suffered from paranoid schizophrenia that caused him to have intense hallucinations and delusions.
But prosecutors Scott Brown and Andy Prosser repeatedly argued that that mental illness was not equal to insanity.
