DAYTON, Ohio - A jury has convicted a man of killing his uncle and grandparents and setting their house on fire. Antonio Franklin, 20, of Dayton smiled at his relatives Friday as Montgomery county common pleas judge James Gilvary read the guilty verdicts. Franklin's uncle, Anthony Franklin, and his grandparents, Ivory and Ophelia Franklin, were struck with a bat on April 18, 1997.

The two men also were struck with another object and died in a fire set at the house that morning. Mrs. Franklin was bludgeoned and shot once in the head. Franklin could face the death penalty. (AP)
