Wow. Defendant and defense attorneys acted like they were celebrating. Danny drinking his bottled water and greeting family members. Handcuffed in front, eventually. I hope he gets the max for 2nd degree. He destroyed his family.
After one day of testimonies and about two and a half hours of juror deliberations, Danny Welte was found guilty of murder in the second degree and armed criminal action on Wednesday in relation to the death of his estranged wife, Echo Welte, in 2016.
Echo Welte was shot in the back of the head by Danny Welte on Nov. 17, 2016, in the parking lot of the Kirksville Days Inn, dying at the scene. Now more than three years later, Adair County Prosecutor Matt Wilson believes the first step of justice has been reached.
“When you’re an active player in the criminal justice system, you have to trust the system,” said Wilson after the verdict was announced Wednesday night. “That means you have to trust the jurors, you have to trust your law enforcement, judges, defense attorneys. All of us have to work together and the system does what it does. So that is what the system decided: justice today.”
....
Now the next step of justice Wilson seeks will come on May 4, with Welte’s sentencing hearing. The second-degree murder conviction carries a sentence of 10 years to life in prison. Wilson said he will seek life in prison for the murder conviction and 20 years for the armed criminal action conviction.
