@trial_trackers: Cooper Ouellette was found guilty of second-degree manslaughter on Day 7 of his Connecticut trial. Jurors acquitted him of first-degree manslaughter and also found him guilty of delivery of alcohol to a minor. The judge denied the defense’s acquittal motion before closing arguments. Prosecutors emphasized reckless conduct and the failure to seek emergency help, while the defense challenged the investigation and argued the death was an accident. Jurors deliberated for approximately three hours before returning their verdict. The case concerns the 2023 death of seventeen-year-old Sophie after she separated from Ouellette’s pickup truck. Prosecutors alleged the truck ran over her, while the defense disputed that account. #CooperOuellette #TrueCrime #Courtroom #Trial
