2nd man found guilty in Mich. antiques dealer’s slaying

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (AP) – A jury has found a second man guilty in the robbery and slaying of a 74-year-old Kalamazoo antiques dealer.

A Kalamazoo County jury on Friday delivered its verdict against 52-year-old John Aguilar who was charged with first-degree murder, armed robbery and home invasion.

Robert Medema was beaten to death with a baseball bat in August in his home.

A judge sentenced 21-year-old Antonio Livingston in March to life in prison for his role in the slaying. Prosecutors have said Livingston was present when Aguilar beat Medema to death.

Aguilar will be sentenced June 10. He also faces life in prison without parole.
