A Fresno man faces the death penalty after a jury found him guilty in less than two hours of deliberations Friday for the 1988 murders of two elderly Fresno residents. A Superior Court jury convicted Colin Dickey in the deaths of Marie Caton, 76, and her boarder, Louie Freiri, 67, who were stabbed and strangled. Prosecutor Ken Hahus presented evidence that Dickey, 24, and Caton’s grandson, Richard Cullumber, killed the couple to get the money Caton reportedly kept in the home.
