Roger Burdette, the driver of the MSD truck who slammed into LMPD detective Deidre Mengedoht’s vehicle, was found guilty on all counts in a unanimous decision by the jury, and Troubleshooter Natalia Martinez was there with complete coverage.
Burdette was found guilty of murder, four counts of wanton endangerment in the first degree, operating a motor vehicle while under the influence, and failure to give right of way to a stopped emergency vehicle.
The 27-year sentence for Burdette’s murder charge will be served concurrently with five year sentences for Burdette’s wanton endangerment charges.
