The teenage football player accused of killing his cheerleader girlfriend was found guilty in a Tennessee court this week. Former Division III college football player William Riley Gaul was convicted of first-degree murder after he shot his then-16-year-old girlfriend, Emma Walker, to death in November 2016 while she was in bed in her Knoxville home. Gaul, 19, immediately was given a mandatory sentence of life in prison without possibility of parole for 51 years, after the verdict came down.

 “Intentionally doing an act and intending to kill are two entirely different things,” Stone said Tuesday in his opening statement. “I think throughout this trial, that distinction will become apparent.”
