A Stevens Point jury has rejected a self-defense claim, finding a 32-year-old man guilty of second-degree intentional homicide. The jury took only two hours to return that verdict Friday against Kyle Engen. A sentencing date hasn’t been set. Twenty-one-year-old Deonta Lezine was one of three men who decided to rob Engen of his marijuana two years ago. Lezine was a trained boxer and his co-conspirators planned for him to knock Engen out before they stole the drugs. The three men were driving away when they heard four or five gunshots fired by Engen. Lezine was hit in the back. Engen was arrested in Colorado a few weeks later.
