Guilty verdicts on the First-Degree Murder and Attempted Murder charges against a Muslim teen who killed a 13-year old boy during a sleepover in Palm Beach County in 2018.

Corey Johnson was 17 at the time and unsuccessfully attempted to use an insanity defense for the murder of Jovanni Sierra in a wealthy Palm Beach Gardens community.

He was also convicted of attempted murder for attacking two other people, including a teen who was stabbed more than 30 times.

Johnson confessed that he killed Sierra in the name of ISIS.

He'll be sentenced in January.
