Terrence J. HaywoodA jury in Michigan has convicted a 38-year-old man of first-degree premeditated murder for the brutal, machete-wielding killing of his 34-year-old roommate nearly three years ago, the Genesee County Prosecutor’s Office announced on October 1. Haywood now faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole and is scheduled to be sentenced on October 27. The conviction of first-degree premeditated murder confirms the jury’s belief that Haywood planned the killing. He will learn his final sentence later this month.
