Rudy Fleming, 21, faces life in prison without the possibility of parole in the killing last year of Nicole duFresne.

Witnesses said duFresne pushed Fleming and said to him, "What are you going to do, shoot us?" after Fleming and some of his companions robbed her and her three friends on the street around 3 a.m.

Both sides agreed that Fleming then shot duFresne in the chest.

Fleming was not present for the verdict; he refused to come to court for the entire trial

..because he didn't want to be laughed at when his defense attorney opened his mouth.
