October 16, 2008 BREAKING NEWS: Jury says Reeves is guiltyPosted: 10:10 PM ET
ORLANDO, Florida–The man accused of framing a teen in a bomb plot has been found guilty of armed burglary and possession of a destructive device. Kenneth Reeves, 50, now faces life in prison. The six-member panel deliberated for three hours and 10 minutes before returning their verdict on six counts of armed burglary and five counts of possession of a destructive device. He was also found guilty of burglary, a lesser offense of one of the armed burglary charges, and not guilty of two counts of possession of a destructive device. The jurors’ verdict means they did not believe Reeves planted the two pipe bombs found in the bedrooms of the Davis’ house. Davis’ and Reeves’ family members sobbed as the verdict was read. Outside the courtroom, Scott Davis Jr. said he felt vindicated. Asked what his feelings were for Reeves, the 19-year-old said “I wish he would have never walked in my life. I wish he would have never walked into my parents’ life my family.” Then he looked directly at the camera to address Reeves: “You destroy us all in the most emotional way you can possibly do to somebody. I hope you are watching this, I really do.” Prosecutors contend Reeves deliberately misled police to believe Davis was planning to blow up his high school in May 2007. Reeves told police members of the Davis family had shown him where pipe bombs were hidden on their property.
