Man Convicted in Scrooge McDuck Murder Trial

After Miguel Rodriguez was shot, his attackers took a custom-made gold chain and medallion from his neck which featured the Disney character Scrooge McDuck.

A 23-year-old Connecticut man could see decades in prison after a jury convicted him of murder, robbery and conspiracy.

The Hartford Courant reports a Superior Court jury returned its verdict Tuesday afternoon against Tyquan Turner. He has been in jail since 2013.

Turner was acquitted in the killing of 25-year-old Miguel Rodriguez in July 2013, but the felony murder conviction carries the same penalty.

Twenty-three-year-old Lorenza Christian is also charged in Rodriguez's killing. He's awaiting trial.

After Rodriguez was shot, his attackers took a custom-made gold chain and medallion from his neck which featured the Disney character Scrooge McDuck.

Turner's sentencing is scheduled for July 21.
