CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) — A Clearwater man has been found guilty of second-degree murder after hitting a man in the head with a hammer at least 18 times and setting his own house on fire.

A jury convicted Danny Papaleo, 61, Friday, though prosecutors were hoping for a first-degree murder conviction. The jury said the killing was not premeditated. He was also found guilty of first-degree arson.
