A 12-member Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas jury convicted serial killer Anthony Sowell on Friday of the murders of 11 Black women at his home on Imperial Ave. in Cleveland and the attempted murder and rape or attempted rape of three others, among a host of the other charges, all but aggravated robbery of which the previously convicted sex offender was found guilty of, convictions on 82 of 83 counts. And Imperial Women leader Kathy Wray Coleman, who started the grassroots group around the unprecedented murders of the Black women with other community activists, was there and among the media to participate in Cleveland's most haunted and celebrated case, giving either an interview or comments to 19 Action News Anchor and Reporter Lydia Esparra, News Channel 5 Chief Investigative Reporter Ron Regan and Jennifer Lindgren, a reporter for Channel 3 News in Cleveland .
After the anticipated guilty verdicts attorneys for the prosecution and Sowell would not speak in detail to reporters due to a gag order, and family members for the most part slipped out the back door without commenting to the media, many of them still emotionally drained by the unprecedented ordeal.
