Full verdict: Jury reaches verdict in Ali Abulaban double murder trial

After a little more than one day of deliberations, a San Diego jury found Ali Abulaban guilty of two counts of first-degree murder.

The jury found Abulaban, a former social media personality, killed his wife Ana, and her friend, Ray Barron with malice.

Because Abulaban admitted to the killings, the jury was given the task of deciding whether Abulaban was guilty of first-degree, second-degree, or manslaughter when he entered his estranged wife's high-rise apartment and shot her and Barron while the two were on the couch.

"First-degree murder is an intent to kill with malice aforethought. So, you want to kill and you have an evil intent in your mind. Second-degree murder is killing somebody, intending to do so with malice, not premeditated. Voluntary manslaughter is killing someone in the heat of passion," explained criminal defense attorney Gretchen Von Helms.
