"What Goes Around Comes Around"

It took a Cook County jury just an hour Wednesday to find Daniel Escobedo guilty of the 1983 murder of a Korean shopkeeper at the International Amphitheater. Escobedo, 65, had no visible reaction as the verdict was read in the courtroom of Judge Lon Schultz. He faces a sentence of up to natural life in prison when he is sentenced May 28 for the murder of Kibwa Kim (SP).

During the three-day trial, Escobedo's nephew testified that his uncle brought him into the plan to kill Kim, a fur and leather dealer, and then threatened him to keep quiet. Kim allegedly was killed with a club and an ice pick.

Escobedo allegedly fled to Mexico after his nephew, Mitsuru Morales, was arrested in 1999. Escobedo had a murder conviction overturned by the Supreme Court in a landmark 1964 ruling requiring police to let suspects speak to an attorney before making a statement.
