A D.C. Superior Court jury Tuesday found a 42-year-old Washington man guilty of bludgeoning a retired New York Times journalist to death in a well-to-do Northwest Washington neighborhood.

Percey Jordan was found guilty of murdering and robbing David Rosenbaum in January. The 63-year-old former newsman was taking a stroll outside in the crisp winter air to get rid of his hiccups when Jordan jumped him from behind and struck him repeatedly with a heavy plastic pipe, authorities said.
