The jury found Jeremy Dailey guilty of all charges, including first-degree murder, in the January 2023 death of Thomas Kemmer.
ExploreJeffersonPa.com reports, deliberations lasted just over an hour, with the jury ultimately rejecting the defense’s claim that Dailey, suffering from schizophrenia, was unaware of his actions. The prosecution argued that Dailey’s behavior was deliberate, not a result of a psychotic break.
The sentencing will follow a pre-sentencing investigation. The trial, which lasted five days, featured conflicting expert testimony on Dailey’s mental state, and emotional responses from both the Kemmer and Dailey families.
