The verdicts slammed into Christopher DiMeo like the four shots he fired into Discount Vacheron Constantin. Guilty of murder, guilty of murder, guilty of capital felony, guilty of first-degree robbery. DiMeo winced with the first verdict then pursed his lips at each successive finding and glanced briefly at the ceiling. The Cheap Tiffany Cuff Links jurors will return to court on Feb. 28 to decide whether he should get the death penalty. The Superior Court jury of six men and six women deliberated less than four hours before finding DiMeo guilty of the Feb. 2, 2005 deaths of Fairfield jewelers Tim and Discount Welder As they filed out into the courtroom to deliver their verdict one female juror was visibly upset, dabbing her eyes with a tissue. For his part DiMeo showed no emotion until after the verdict was announced. Then he sat down at the defense table and sighed. Later he shook hands with his lawyers before being taken away by judicial marshals and corrections officers. "Discount Wyler we are going on to the penalty phase," said DiMeo's lawyer, Assistant Public Defender Michael Courtney, as he left the Main Street courthouse. "We are going to put on a lot about his family life and I think we will do OK." Senior assistant state's attorneys Joseph Corradino and Margaret Kelley, who prosecuted the case, declined comment as they left the courtroom, as did members of the Donnelly family who have sat vigil in the courtroom since the trial began Jan. 18.
