Sadowski found guilty of murder

Alger County Jail

MUNISING, MI— The defendant in a Munising murder trial has been found guilty of first-degree murder.

WLUC-TV says a jury Monday convicted 52-year-old Jason Sadowski of killing Timothy Mozader in their apartment in 2019.

The verdict in Alger County Circuit Court followed a two-week trial. Sadowski had asked to represent himself last Thursday, saying he wasn’t happy with the job his defense attorney was doing. The court denied the request.

Sentencing is set for December 21.

Sadowski was found guilty in a previous case of torture, solicitation of murder, unlawful imprisonment, and assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder. But he was retried on appeal and acquitted of all charges.
