MILFORD, PIKE COUNTY - Guilty on all charges. That's the verdict in a joint murder trial in Pike County.

Justin Culver and Cameron Harinarain were both convicted in connection with a deadly shooting in 2007. Prosecutors say the two men broke into the victim's home in Lehman Township in August 2007. They planned to steal guns but got into a shootout with Barry Rose. Rose was killed.

Both men were found guilty of second-degree murder, robbery and burglary charges. It took jurors about three and a-half hours to reach their decision.

"It was good to see them held accountable for their actions," Valerie Rose, the victim's fiancee said after the verdicts came down.

As the verdicts were read, neither suspect showed any emotion. The victim's family cried tears of joy.

"I said, all I could think about, is this true, is it true? Is it real? God, you answered my prayers," Lillian Rose, the victim's mother said.

A third man, Marquis Keeys is also facing charges in connection with the crime. Prosecutors say he was the triggerman. He'll most like face trial next month.

Because of Wednesday's verdict, both men will automatically receieve life in prison. They will be sentenced Thursday afternoon.
