Christian Grover hugs Assistant State Attorney Karen Fraivillig on Friday, minutes after hearing John Lee was found guilty of slaying Traci Nabergall and her friend Jason Salter in 2011.
John Allen Lee sat stone-faced in a Sarasota courtroom Friday afternoon as two guilty verdicts against him were read for the murders of Venice residents Traci Nabergall, 39, and Jason Salter, 46.
Nabergall’s adopted son, Christian Grover, 25, cried uncontrollably into a tissue as Salter’s mother held her fists up to her face in victory and sobbed.
