Murder One on third try for two thugs who killed a guy waiting for his mother

A Suffolk Superior Court jury today convicted Antwan Carter and Daniel Pinckney of first-degree murder for the 2007 gunshot murder of a college student standing outside the Timilty Middle School on March 14, 2007.

Prosecutors charged that Carter and Pickney, upset one of their gang friends was shot, went out for revenge that day, intent on gunning somebody down. Cedric Steele, prosecutors say, had nothing to do with the beef; the two simply decided to shoot him repeatedly.

Two earlier trials had ended in deadlocked juries and mistrials.
