RACINE â The jury who has to determine if a local man will spend the rest of his life in prison, or will be found not guilty because the shooting was justified, heard from the defendant himself Wednesday afternoon.
Edward Sanders, 31, is charged with first-degree intentional homicide, a Category A felony, for the shooting death of Guillermo Martinez, then 23 years old.
Martinez was shot and killed as he and two others were beating Sandersâ brother, Deangelo Herron.
Sanders is additionally charged with two counts of reckless endangerment with use of a deadly weapon, a category F felony.
A third count of reckless endangerment was dismissed by the court on a motion from the defense for lack of evidence.
