Givens convicted in Cipriani case

By Dan Trigoboff -- Broadcasting & Cable, 8/29/2003 7:03:00 AM

After two days of deliberation, Tampa, Fla., jurors Thursday convicted Melvin Givens, 27, of the 2001 slaying of WFLA-TV Tampa weekend newscast director Danielle Cipriani.

But although Givens was convicted of first-degree murder and could face the death penalty, the jury was deadlocked on the charge of attempted rape.

The jury will convene again Oct. 8 to consider whether Givens should be sentenced to death or life in prison.
