A sentencing date has been set for a Brownsdale man who was convicted by a jury Thursday of second-degree murder in the death of a rural Freeborn County man last summer.
Sentencing for David Michael Easter, 27, is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. June 30.
Easter was convicted in the shooting death of Spencer Daniel Brown, 23, who was found dead in a locked 2001 Audi station wagon Aug. 23, 2016, at Myre-Big Island State Park. Easter had claimed self-defense in the man’s death.
Second-degree murder carries a maximum sentence of 40 years in prison. If no criminal record was found, Easter faces a presumptive sentence of 25 years in prison.
