MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) – The jury hearing the case of former pastor Cederick McMillian found him guilty of sex abuse and sodomy after deliberating for an hour Wednesday morning.
The jury chose not to take a lunch break before they began deliberations on Wednesday, Oct. 17. McMillian was convicted sodomy and sex abuse involving his step-daughter, who the prosecution said was 14 years old at the time the abuse happened.
Defense attorney Jeff Deen said he’s disappointed with the verdict.
“I think it was a good cross section of the community, and they heard the evidence and worked hard on the case but they have to make the decision,” said Deen.
