James "Scott" Evans, 47, of Norwalk went to be with his Lord and Savior Thursday, May 27, 2010, at his mother's home surrounded by his loving family in Berlin Heights.
It took the jury less than three hours to convict Steven Rodvold of murder in the shooting death of his father. It took a judge a day to determine Rodvold should be in prison for at least 18 years before he's eligible for parole.
Rodvold closed his eyes as the jury walked in after reaching a verdict just before 4 p.m. Wednesday.
Now it's on to closing arguments and to a jury.
Steven Rodvold has admitted he shot his father to death in September 2009 at their rural New London home, but he claims it was in self-defense.
Now a jury will decide.
