A Corbin man was found guilty of the 2018 murders of Aaron Byers, Mary Jackson, Tiffany Byers and the fetal homicide of Tiffany Byers’ unborn child Thursday evening in Whitley Circuit Court.
Paul Brock, of Corbin, was also found guilty of one count of tampering with physical evidence.
The 12-member jury returned the verdict at approximately 7:15 p.m.
The verdict was reached after nine days of testimony. Jury selection began on March 1.
“We appreciate the jury’s service,” said Commonwealth’s Attorney Ronnie Bowling after the verdict was announced. “They put their life on hold for a month for a four-week trial, and we are just extremely grateful they listened to the evidence and gave it meaningful weight. We are grateful on behalf of the victims’ family for the verdict that was returned.”
The sentencing deliberations are expected to take place on Tuesday.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
