By Sha111a Gustafson SENIOR WRITER

Former Eastern student Anthony B. Mertz is guilty of the murder of Eastern student Shannon McNamara, as determined by a jury Wednesday, after eight intense days of testimony, evidence and arguments. The jury, composed of seven men and five women, found Mertz guilty of first-degree murder, home inva­ sion and aggravated criminal sexual assault after about three hours of deliberations. An eligibility hear­ ing will begin Friday to decide if Mertz is eligible to receive the death penalty. Court will not meet Thursday. Mertz reacted to the verdict simply by closing his eyes as he was declared guilty of first-degree murder. Family and friends reacted emotionally to the ver­ dict, breaking the silence of the courtroom with tears and sighs. After court adjourned for the day, the packed gallery remained, hugging and crying over the final outcome.

Eastern will have to play 40 minutes of solid defense if it expects to come out on top. "We have to play great defense that will hopefully lead to some easy baskets for us on the other end," Wunder said.
