A man was convicted Monday of killing a woman out running near her New York City home in a case that stirred urban fears, helped change the state's DNA-investigation rules and raised questions about race and police procedures.

News station video showed Karina Vetrano's loved ones erupting in cheers as a Queens jury delivered in Chanel Lewis' retrial, convicting him of murder and sexual abuse in Vetrano's 2016 death. A previous trial ended in a hung jury in November; the second jury deliberated for only five hours, staying into the night to deliberate.

The attack redoubled the wariness of women who run alone, and it baffled investigators for a time. Lewis, 22, was arrested six months later. And Lewis taped a confession, saying he was upset at someone else -- a neighbour of his who played loud music -- and "lost it" when he saw Vetrano.Lewis said he strangled Vetrano but didn't sexually abuse her.

Man charged in New Zealand mosque attacks had supported far-right group in Austria, chancellor saysA spokesman for prosecutors in Graz, Austria, confirmed the head of the country’s Identitarian Movement has received €1,500in 2018 from a donor with the same name as the man charged with the shootings earlier this month He supported extreme left groups too, but let's not let that get in the way of the narrative. I’m not at all a fan of the far right but it is pathetic that a “link” is made between a donation from a random person on and a group in Austria.
