- CONVICTED. Pascal Carpenter, Emiliano Fernandez, Johnny
- Hincapie and Ricardo Nova, all 19, of the murder of Brian
- Watkins, 22, a tourist from Utah who was stabbed to death on a
- Manhattan subway platform last year when he tried to defend his
- parents from the gang of thieves; in New York City. The crime
- strengthened the national perception of New York City as a
- locale haunted by anarchic crime. The four were convicted of
- murder and face maximum prison sentences of 25 years to life,
- since the killing occurred during a robbery in which they took
- part, although Yull Gary Morales, the man who police say
- actually stabbed Watkins in the heart, and three other
- defendants will not stand trial until next year.
