WELLSBURG, W.Va. — Rocco Zuccaro was found guilty Friday of first-degree murder in the 2013 killing of his friend Jason Pratz.
The 30-year old Zuccaro was convicted after about two hours of deliberations.
Zuccaro escaped a Weston area mental hospital in March before being taken to a facility in Columbia, S.C. after his capture.
The defense previously tried to argue that Zuccaro was mentally unfit to stand trial, but the judge found him capable.
