An Illinois man was found guilty today by a jury of nine serious felonies for shooting at Kenosha County Deputies and hitting a police dog named Riggs. He now faces eight decades in the Wisconsin Prison system. Allan M. Brown still has yet to face trial in Cook County, Illinois for two murders and a carjacking among other crimes.

Kenosha ADA Alexandra (Alex) Smathers told the jury that the video evidence and testimony of the law enforcement officers should have left “no doubt, let alone a reasonable doubt.” She demonstrated the testimony of how Brown shot backwards between his torso and arm at three deputies. She asked the Jury to reach guilty verdicts on all counts.

Defense attorney McKenna Quinter had an uphill battle, but mentioned the third casting from Brown’s gun that was never found. She seemed to attempt to get a not guilty on at least one charge.
