1 Convicted, 1 Acquitted in 2007 Murder Of Woman In Camden, NJ
CAMDEN, N.J. (CBS) - Jurors in Camden have convicted one man and cleared another in the 2007 gang-related murder of a 24-year-old Woodlynne, NJ woman.
Tierra Pressley was killed outside a Camden bar, caught in the crossfire of what prosecutors dubbed a "Bloods initiation hit" that targeted Adrien Jackson, then 32, of Camden. Jackson was critically wounded and hospitalized for a month.
After a seven-week trial in Camden County Superior Court, jurors convicted 24-year-old Manfred Younger of murder, attempted murder, and related offenses. Co-defendant Anthony Parker was acquitted on all charges following nine hours of jury deliberations.
Younger faces a life term in prison, with a minimum 30 years to be served on the murder conviction. He will be formally sentenced next month.
