After a weeklong trial, the jury returned a guilty verdict on all eight counts of the indictment. Co-defendant Mykia Wilson entered a guilty plea in 2019 to multiple counts of armed robbery and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

“Session robbed employees and customers while armed with a large handgun,” First said. “A dangerous, violent criminal will no longer be able to prey on innocent victims.”
