Description
A Montgomery County jury found the man accused of intentionally running over an officer with his car not guilty of attempted first or second-degree murder on Friday. However, he was found guilty of 13 of the 18 charges he faced, including second degree assault and numerous fleeing and evading charges.
Prosecutors charged Raphael Mayorga with attempted murder, and numerous other charges, stemming from a crash in October 2023. Mayorga struck Sgt. Patrick Kepp, who was laying down stop sticks, with his vehicle on I-270 while eluding officers. He was driving more than 100 mph. Kepp survived the crash but lost both of his legs. Prosecutors say the hit-and-run was premeditated, but the defense argued otherwise, and the jury sided with the defense.
