The jury deliberated for several hours. They had to determine not whether Delen fatally shot Lewis, but why.

  • Brian Delen, 48, of Bel Air, was convicted in Harford County Circuit Court of the lesser charges he faced, second-degree assault and use of a firearm during the commission of a crime of violence, following a trial during which his attorneys argued he acted out of fear and in self-defense when he shot Meghan Lewis last year.

    Healey said in a press release that she intends to seek a sentence of 30 years, the maximum penalties allowed by law. Five of those years will be required to be without the possibility of parole, she said. A sentencing date has not been scheduled yet.

    Five years, then his gofundme lawyer will get him out and he'll write a book for all the transphobes to gobble up. Ready to be proven wrong.
