Jury convicts Philly man for causing death of man met through dating app
After a two-week murder trial, a Brooklyn jury acquitted a Pennsylvania man on Wednesday for stabbing and killing a man he’d just met on a dating app.
David Keegan Riotto Haigh had a brief moment of relief inside Brooklyn Supreme Court as the foreman announced that the jury found him not guilty of the second-degree murder of James “Koron” Johnson.
But in the next breath, Haigh and members of his family in the courtroom were in tears as the jury unanimously agreed that he was guilty of first-degree manslaughter. Haigh faces a maximum of 25 years in prison and a minimum of five.
