After one day of deliberation, a jury found a homicide defendant accused of strangling his mother guilty before DC Superior Court Judge Michael Ryan on Nov. 26.
Seth Andrews, 38, was originally charged with first-degree murder, two counts of assault on a police officer, and destruction of property for his involvement in the fatal strangulation of his mother, 67-year-old Hazel Evans on the unit block of 35th Street, SE on July 16, 2020.
Andrews was found guilty of second-degree murder. The remaining counts will be addressed at a later date.
Parties are slated to reconvene on Feb. 13.
