Family members sobbed in court as two men were found guilty of manslaughter after a Christchurch teen was shot dead at a party.
Daniel Nelson Sparks and Joshua David Craig Smith stood trial, charged with the murder of 16-year-old Connor Whitehead in November 2021.
The pair had pleaded not guilty to the killings and opted not to give evidence during the trial.
After a two week trial and nearly two days of deliberation a jury returned the verdicts this afternoon Adam Burns was at the High Court in Christchurch talks to Susana Lei'ataua.
