Man Convicted of Murder in Fatal Beatings of 4 Homeless Men 
The 12 jurors found that the man, Randy Rodriguez Santos, had intentionally killed the men, rejecting his lawyers’ argument that they must find him not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect. The jury took less than a day to reach a verdict. Mr. Santos, 31, faces life in prison at his sentencing in April.
