UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (WJZ) -- After just two hours of deliberation, a jury returned a guilty verdict on first-degree attempted murder, first-degree assault and weapons-related charges against Steven Branch.
The convictions stem from two separate domestic violence-related incidents on Feb. 8, 2019, and April 5, 2019.
Branch, 35, is facing life in prison and will be sentenced Dec. 20, 2019.
