A Heartbreaking Case That Ends in Conviction
A Cincinnati father just got hit with a guilty verdict that has the whole city talking. Rodney Hinton Jr was found guilty on every charge after he deliberately drove into and killed a sheriff deputy. The crash happened only hours after he sat and watched the body camera video of police shooting his 18 year old son the day before.
The jury rejected his insanity claim even though the defense pointed to his long history of mental illness and the raw grief of seeing that footage. Prosecutors said he knew exactly what he was doing when he aimed his car at Deputy Larry Henderson who was simply directing traffic near a college graduation.
Hinton now faces life in prison. Sentencing is set for November 16. Two families destroyed in the span of two days and a community left searching for answers that may never fully come. This story is heavy and it is far from over.
