A former youth pastor received no deliverance from a Cobb County jury who found him guilty Monday of murdering of two former friends in 2004.

The jury of three women and nine men deliberated for less than an hour before convicting Joshua Kevin Drucker, 33, of McDonough of two counts of malice murder and two counts of felony murder in the shootings of David Andrew Robertson, 40, and Lora Nikolova, 25.

Drucker also was convicted of two counts of armed robbery, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and credit card fraud.

Prosecutors said Drucker went to Robertson's house near Marietta on April 5, 2004, under the pretense of visiting him. He chatted with Robertson and Nikolova, and then shot Robertson when he stood to fetch some marijuana in the kitchen. Drucker turned the gun on Nikolova after she began hitting him and screaming, "You killed him!"

Prosecutors intend to seek the death penalty in the sentencing phase of the trial, which begins Tuesday.

Drucker, who at one time served as youth minister at the Global Outreach Church his father pastored in Stockbridge, showed no emotion at the reading of the verdict. Returning from a short break afterward, he waved and smiled broadly toward the emotion-strained faces of his family and friends.

Drucker's father, the Rev. Doug Drucker, was expected to testify because his son had confessed to him that he had killed someone and the father called police. The father was never called to testify, but it's still a possibility in the sentencing phase.

Joshua Drucker answered, "No, sir," when asked by Superior Court Judge Robert Flournoy if there was anything he wanted to say.

Drucker's attorneys had asked the jury to convict him on the lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter for shooting Robertson. They sought an acquittal in the death of Nikolova, which they called an accident.

Nikolova, a student from Bulgaria, fell in love with Robertson, a nightclub bouncer, after she came to Atlanta on a short-term work visa.

Nikolova's father, who traveled from Bulgaria for the trial, hugged a victim advocate who sat beside him after hearing the verdict. Both he and his son later shook the prosecutors' hands.


Senior Assistant District Attorney Ann Harris said in her closing statement Monday that the case was not a whodunit, but a "whydunit."

In a videotaped statement played during the trial, Drucker indicated to detectives that he killed Robertson -- a former friend -- for revenge. He said Robertson had dated his sister, Amanda Drucker, and that Robertson gave her drugs that she overdosed on. The overdose caused permanent brain damage.

Several witnesses testified that Drucker continued to hang out with Robertson even after the overdose, which happened 14 months prior to the slayings.

His defense attorney, Joseph W. Vigneri of the Georgia Capital Defender Office, explained the relationship between the two men citing the old adage: "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

Drucker and his co-defendant, Melissa McCrayer, allegedly took a wallet, jewelry and cellphones from Robertson's house after the slaying. Drucker spent more than $1,500 on drugs, strip clubs, hotel rooms and food before police caught up to them at a motel less than two days after the killings, McCrayer testified last week.

McCrayer is out of jail on bond awaiting her trial. She was indicted on the same charges as Drucker. However, prosecutors are not seeking the death penalty against her because they said she did not kill the victims.

耶稣扯淡说：

马太
7:17        这样，凡好树都结好果子，惟独坏树结坏果子。
7:18        好树不能结坏果子，坏树不能结好果子。

看看基督教结的这个好果子！

有基督徒“解释”说：牧师们其实是受害者。因为魔鬼总是要试图攻击牧师们，打倒了牧师，就打倒一个教会。原来牧师们是“受害者”啊！

美国的法律真是太扯了，居然把这些“受害者”们（牧师们）抓起来了。
