...trial, prosecutors claimed that former family friend Ricky Chavis killed King, allegedly to protect his sexual relationship with Alex. Trial watchers wondering what would happen if Chavis and the boys were convicted of the same crime never got to find out. The brothers were found guilty of second-degree murder and arson, and Chavis--to the amazement of the boys' jury--was acquitted.
