The Everett man who made international news after repeatedly stabbing his defense attorneys with pens and pencils has been convicted of murder in his long-delayed trial.
Joshua Monson was accused of killing Brian Jones in January of 2011, but his murder was continually pushed back as he fought unrelated drug charges and made a habit of stabbing his attorneys.
Three times he grabbed a pencil and jabbed it in the neck or head of a defense attorney. He did it a fourth time with a pen.
Wednesday he was strapped to a special chair to restrict his movement as a jury convicted him in the killing.
The Everett Herald reports he could face 50 years when sentenced.
