MUNISING, MI-- An Alger Correctional Facility inmate has been found guilty of killing another inmate last July.
A five-day trial was held last week for DeShawn Madden, charged with first-degree homicide in the death of Rodriguez Burks, 23. After the jury deliberated for nearly two hours it came back with a verdict of second-degree murder.
Burks’ body was found wrapped up in a blanket in his cell. Authorities say he died of blunt force trauma to the head.
A sentencing date has not yet been set.
