#Breaking Patrick Frazee found guilty of 1st degree murder in death of his fiancé Kelsey Berreth. Jury only needed about 3 hours. @KDVR
Arsenal of Colorado and national media outside the courthouse, awaiting reaction from both defense and prosecution. @KDVR
Frazee found guilty on all 6 counts, including murder, solicitation of murder and tampering with evidence. @KDVR #kelseyBerreth #PatrickFrazee
Frazee kept the same expression he had all day, and I’m told throughout the trial. He blinked twice when the judge read they found him guilty. @KDVR
We are waiting on the sentencing which will take place within the next 20 minutes. @KDVR
Update: Frazee will serve the maximum sentence: life without parole, plus 156 years. @KDVR
District Attorney Dan May and prosecution team walking out now to speak to the media. @KDVR
“It’s a sad day that all justice can do is hold Patrick Frazee accountable.” Dan May says it’s a shame Kelsey Berreth can’t be here today. @KDVR
“She did not deserve this. This was senseless and will haunt us on the prosecution team.” -Dan May @KDVR
Lead prosecutor Jennifer Viehman says “It was an honor to fight for justice for Kelsey.” Very emotional year for this team. @KDVR
Our @vicentearenastv asked the lead prosecutor about seeing Kelsey’s father in the courtroom. She said it was indescribable to see the anguish on his face, couldn’t help but cry at times. @KDVR
I asked May if Frazee could face any additional charges for solicitation of murder, after prosecutors allege he asked an inmate to have several key witnesses killed. May says it’s an ongoing investigation. @KDVR
Assistant District Attorney Beth Reed says the character and demeanor Frazee showed during the trial is consistent with sociopathic behavior. @KDVR
UPDATE: Dan May says they are currently searching a new location for Berreth’s body. They haven’t given up. @KDVR
