Jury to Decide Serrano's Fate for Erie Manufacturing Slayings

BARTOW, Fla. — A Florida jury is set to deliberate the fate of Nelson Serrano, who was convicted Tuesday in connection with the 1997 murders of four people in the offices of Bartow, Fla.-based Erie Manufacturing & Garment Conveyor Systems.

Serrano, 68, could be sentenced to death when the jury reconvenes next week.

Prosecutors argued that he shot former partner George Gonsalves to death on Dec. 3, 1997, in retaliation for being ousted from the company, and three other victims, the relatives of a third partner, to eliminate witnesses.
