Prosecutors say a Connecticut man has been convicted of killing his roommate with a samurai-style sword after a dispute over rent. Jurors delivered their verdict Friday.
Surveillance video showed Thompson walking toward the home later that morning with a long object in his hand, then walking back to his car in different clothes about 20 minutes later, prosecutors said.
Some of King’s friends called the police the next day, alarmed that they couldn’t reach him. Police found the 64-year-old had been stabbed to death and left under blankets on his kitchen floor. Thompson represented himself at trial and filed papers maintaining that the state had no jurisdiction over him,. He claimed when arrested to be a “sovereign citizen,” a term used by some who assert that the U.S. government is illegitimate and that its laws don’t bind them.
A message was sent Friday night to an attorney who was appointed to advise Thompson during the trial.The Associated Press is an independent global news organization dedicated to factual reporting.
