Erin Moriarty

There was a lot at stake here for Daniel and the community, because one verdict would put Daniel behind bars for the foreseeable future.

The other meant Daniel would go to a psychiatric hospital for treatment.

Prosecutor Amanda Zambor felt she had made the best case she could to the jury.

You had mostly women on the jury.

Were you worried one woman might feel sympathy for this young guy?

But nearly two hours after closing arguments, the jury reentered the courtroom.

And the verdict was?

Unanimously, the jury had found Daniel Marsh guilty on two counts of first-degree murder, along with additional, quote, enhancements that increased the severity of the punishment he would face due to the depraved nature of the crime.

Cheryl Gleason sat on the jury of eight women and four men.

She explained to me why she believed Daniel Marsh was guilty.

Hearing weeks of gruesome testimony left some jurors traumatized.

However, finding Daniel guilty was not actually the end of the trial.

The jury still had to make another decision.

Was Daniel insane at the time of the murders?

While she had been confident that the jurors would find Daniel guilty of murder, prosecutor Amanda Zambor wasn't as confident about the issue of insanity.

Were you more nervous about that?

So after delivering the guilty verdict, the jurors heard another day of arguments where the prosecution and defense tried to prove that Daniel was either legally sane or insane at the time of the crime.

And once again, it was a quick decision for the jury.

They found Daniel to be sane at the time he committed the murders of Claudia Maupin and Chip Northup.

So if he's not insane, then what is Daniel Marsh?
