A man in the United States illegally was convicted Friday of killing two Northern California deputies in a case that helped fuel the national immigration debate. Luis Bracamontes was found guilty of murder in the shootings of Sacramento County sheriff's Deputy Danny Oliver and Placer County sheriff's Detective Michael Davis Jr. in 2014. "Yay," he said softly after first verdict read, looking around at the victims' families and jurors with a slight smile. A judge found Bracamontes competent to stand trial and he refused to plead not guilty by reason of insanity. Bracamontes has shouted in court that he is guilty and asked to be put to death.
