Marcus Eriz has been found guilty of murder in the Orange County, California, road rage incident that killed 6-year-old Aiden Leos in 2021.

Eriz was convicted of second-degree murder, shooting into an occupied vehicle and two felony enhancements of the personal discharge of a firearm causing great bodily injury and death.

"While we will never know what Aiden would have become, we know that the pursuit of justice did not end until his killer was captured and this child murderer was prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law," Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer said in a statement after the verdict.

Eriz will be sentenced on April 12. The 26-year-old faces 40 years to life in prison.

I mean, I'm sure others will test it, but this video seems convincing.

Yeahhhh.... But to believe that this is a factory-produced model versus one that has been "polished" up for presentation is like looking at the fake cheeseburgers in McDonald's ads and claiming that's what the real thing looks like. That aside, QA/QC engineering standards is another matter... Which Tesla already has a shoddy record with.

But with McDonald's the commercials are showing food. Making a claim that your vehicle is bulletproof, even if it's stopping 22 caliber is still significantly better than nothing.

It's no doubt that 1.8mm steel has more stopping power than thin steel on a regular car.
