The jury will reconvene Monday to determine a sentence. Under the law, jurors can recommend from 20 years to life in prison for the murder charge, and additional time for every malicious wounding charge. The sentencing hearing could take two days.
Fields is eligible for the death penalty if convicted of separate federal hate crime charges. No trial has been scheduled for those charges yet, however.
