GETTYSBURG, Pa. (WHTM) -
Adams County prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty during the sentencing of Christopher Johnson, who was found guilty of first-degree murder Tuesday for the killing of a game warden.
The sentencing phase of Johnson's trial is scheduled to begin Wednesday morning.
Defense attorneys for the 29-year-old Johnson acknowledged the Fairfield man shot Wildlife Conservation Officer
David Grove in November 2010, but they said saying Johnson was too drunk to form the intent to kill and argued for third-degree
murder.
Adams County District Attorney Shawn Wagner argued that Johnson killed Grove to avoid going back to prison. Grove had pulled over Johnson and another man for illegally killing a deer in Freedom Township, and Johnson was not
allowed to have gun because he was a convicted felon.
Jurors were told that Johnson deliberately
shot at Grove 15 times. The 31-year-old game warden sustained three gunshot wounds, including a fatal wound to the neck. Ten rounds from his gun
were recovered from the shooting scene.
The jury deliberated for about a half-hour before delivering the guilty verdict.
