Jeremy Karlin, defense attorney for Nicholas Sheley, starts his closing statement Tuesday morning Nov. 6, 2012, in the Sheley's murder trial. A jury took less than three hours Tuesday to convict Sheley in the June 2008 killing of 93-year-old Russell Reed in his Sterling home. Reed is one of eight people Sheley was accused of killing in 2008 during a spree of violence in Illinois and Missouri. (AP Photo/Sauk Valley Media, Alex T. Pashcal, Pool)
