The court also read verdicts of innocent on aggravated robbery and aggravated kidnapping, and guilty of temporary deprivation of property. Welch was knocked unconscious during a fight outside his Princeton home, then moved to a van and dumped into a well near Lebo where death was listed as drowning.
