BROCKTON — A Brockton man who was out on bail when he shot his ex-girlfriend to death as she slept has been convicted of first-degree murder.
Amaral Montrond, who is already serving a five-year prison term in another shooting, was convicted Monday in Brockton Superior Court of killing Carlita Chaney in August 2007 after the jury deliberated about eight hours over two days.
Prosecutors say Montrond shot Chaney because he was angry that she told police he was hiding in South Carolina while he was wanted for a shooting outside a Brockton bar.
Montrond’s lawyer said in court that the gun discharged accidentally.
He is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 4. First-degree murder carries a mandatory sentence of life without the possibility of parole.
