MOBILE, Ala. - Luong has been found guilty on all five charges in the deaths of his four children. It took a jury 45 minutes to deliberate. He is charged with one count of capital murder for each child, and one for all of them collectively. Sentencing will be held Friday morning.
During closing arguments the state said, "Sometimes there is just evil and that's what we have in this case."
It went on to say that Luong's children trusted him, and he betrayed that trust.
The defense said what happened was so out of character, that the only reason to explain why a father could allegedly do this was intoxication. The defense had asked the jury to support a manslaughter charge, not capital murder.
