Gabriel Hall has been found guilty of capital murder in the stabbing and shooting of Edwin Shaar Jr. of College Station in October 2011.
The jury spent a few hours Friday to convict Hall following two and a half days of testimony.
Lawyers may take five weeks presenting witnesses and exhibits before deliberations begin that will determine if Hall receives life without parole or the death penalty.
Those scheduled to testify in the punishment phase includes the victim’s wife and daughter and witnesses traveling from the Philippines, where Hall was born and spent his youth before he was adopted by a College Station family.
