A Bend man sat in stoic silence Monday morning as jurors found him guilty of murder.

The jury reached its decision in the murder trial of Luke Wirkkala after about seven hours of deliberations that begun Friday afternoon.

Wirkkala was convicted of intentionally shooting and killing his house guest, 31-year-old David Ryder, after a night of Super Bowl partying in February 2013.

Wirkkala had claimed he shot Ryder in self-defense after he was attacked and sexually assaulted.

Wirkkala’s family members were visibly upset after the announcement and told NewsChannel 21 the verdict was not what they had expected.

Ryder’s family members, meanwhile, indicated they did not wish to comment at this time.

District Attorney Patrick Flaherty released a statement saying, in part: “Our hearts go out to the family and friends of David Ryder.”

Wirkkala will receive his prison sentence on July 14th at 2 p.m. Chief Deputy District Attorney Mary Anderson told NewsChannel 21 the DA will ask the judge for a life sentence, which is mandatory under Oregon law for those convicted of intentional murder.

State law also says Wirkkala could be eligible to request parole after 25 years.
