The accelerated pace in the case against Brian Rooney, 37, of Richmond means critical pretrial matters will be dispatched in weeks. Defense lawyers said they will file a request to throw out the suspect's statements to police because authorities violated his rights during questioning, and the legal team also is considering a challenge to the admissibility of incriminating evidence.

Jury: Rooney Guilty of Murder


Rutland, Vermont - May 22, 2008
The verdict is in: Brian Rooney is guilty.
Jurors deliberated for more than six hours trying to determine whether Rooney, 37, of Richmond, kidnapped, raped, and murdered UVM student Michelle Gardner-Quinn in 2006.
Just before 6:00 p.m. the jury convicted Rooney of aggravated murder.
That guilty verdict means life in prison without parole for Rooney. Vermont has no death penalty.
