Detroit — The wife of an Australian man who was gunned down by a lottery winner last year said she has mixed feelings about the guilty verdict handed down Monday by a Wayne County jury.
Australian native Greg McNicol, 45, was murdered in 2011 outside an apartment complex he was renovating on Detroit's east side, following a longstanding dispute with one of his tenants over $1,000 in unpaid rent and loud, unruly visitors.
Former postal worker Freddie Young, 63, who won an estimated $1.57 million share of a Michigan Lottery jackpot in February 2011, was found guilty Monday of second-degree murder.
"I'm thankful that justice was done, but I'm not happy," said McNicol's widow, Katie Scartezini. "There's nothing to be happy about. My husband was cowardly murdered. I'm not celebrating — I'd be celebrating if my husband was still here by my side."
