A man who prosecutors said barged into the Illinois home of his ex-girlfriend and shot her new lover has been found guilty of murder.

Stanford Stokes, 44, of St. Louis, Missouri, had claimed self-defense ahead of his trial for the murder of 32-year-old Jarred Hayes, whom he shot on Nov. 7, 2023. According to courtroom reporting by local news outlet The Telegraph, prosecutors said that Stokes had entered the home of his former girlfriend and found her in bed with Hayes, her new boyfriend. Stokes then retrieved her handgun from her purse and fired at Hayes, who attempted to run away.

Stokes' defense claimed that Hayes also had a gun and that Stokes was trying to defend himself. The jury, however, disagreed.

Yeah, you can't claim self defense if you're the initial aggressor.

I don't advocate for violence against the cheating party or their Jody, but i also get it.

In this case though, this dude is trash and deserves to rot.

Had it been his former home and a separated spouse, I would say not guilty.

But for an ex gf, nope.

She’s also going to be getting all kinds of new D while this guy is in prison and cannot do anything about it. Few people convicted of murdering as a jilted lover ever say, “it was worth it.”

You can if you lose your aggressor status.

Why kill the guy, he owes you nothing? In a cheating situation the one who is cheating deserves the arse whipping. Nobody deserves to be killed over a breakup
