Officials in the Omaha Metro area reacted to the verdict of the Anthony Garcia murder trial on Wednesday.
A jury found Garcia guilty in all counts of first degree murder.
Garcia was on trial for the 2008 murders of Thomas Hunter and Shirlee Sherman in Dundee and Dr. Roger and Mary Brumback in 2013.
Jurors did have the option of convicting Garcia of second degree murder or find him not guilty.
The following are reactions for officials in the metro area.
Omaha Police Department:
Omaha Mayor Jean Stothert:
"The Hunter, Sherman and Brumback families have waited years for this guilty verdict.
I hope the end of the trial provides solace for these families.
The verdict represents the thorough investigation by the Omaha Police Department task force created by Chief Todd Schmaderer, the strong case presented by Douglas County Attorney Don Kleine and his staff, and the thoughtful work of the jury."
