After a five-day trial, a Hillsborough County jury came to a unanimous decision to find Matthew Terry guilty of first-degree murder in the stabbing death of his girlfriend.
Jury deliberations began at around 3 p.m. in the murder trial against Matthew Terry late Tuesday. Terry, 47, was accused of stabbing his girlfriend, Kay Baker to death this past May.
Due to the verdict, Terry's bond has also been revoked. The case now moves to the penalty phase.
The case recently gained even more attention because suspended Hillsborough State Attorney Andrew Warren originally said prosecutors would not seek the death penalty in this case.
But when Governor DeSantis suspended Warren, interim State Attorney Susan Lopez said they would.
Both sides rested their case Tuesday, with Terry’s defense team calling no witnesses and then prosecutors and the defense presenting final arguments.
