Guilty verdict in Eric Denson murder trial brings relief for Conor Reynolds' family

When jurors delivered a guilty verdict, the family began quietly sobbing and hugging each other – less a celebration than an unclenching of emotions bottled up.

SPRINGFIELD – Nineteen months of waiting was nearly over.

Seated shoulder-to-shoulder in Hampden Superior Court, the family of Conor W. Reynolds was moments away from learning that his accused killer, Eric B. Denson, was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison – or acquitted and set free.

A Kleenex box was passed from the first to the second row as a court official offered a reminder on courtroom etiquette.

"No clapping. No cheering. No screaming at the jury, even if it doesn't go our way," said Deborah Chieco, a victim-witness advocate for the district attorney's office.

Not that the Reynolds – who endured three weeks of graphic testimony on how their 17-year-old son was stabbed at a birthday party, then bled to death in a parking lot – needed much instruction.

When jurors delivered a guilty verdict, the family began quietly sobbing and hugging each other – less a celebration than an unclenching of emotions bottled up during the 19 months since the Cathedral High School student's murder.

"Oh, thank God," someone in the second row said in a stage whisper.

Reynolds's mother, Kate, closed her eyes and bowed her head, then rested an arm on her son Brendan's shoulder.

Across the courtroom, the family of defendant Eric B. Denson seemed stunned, not just by the guilty verdict – which carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole – but how quickly it was delivered.

With only three hours of deliberation, the jury returned about 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, finding Denson guilty on first degree murder; at the request of District Attorney Mark G. Mastroianni, Judge Peter A. Velis scheduled sentencing for 2 p.m.
