Overview
- A Suffolk County jury on Wednesday found Jeremy Allen, 44, guilty of first-degree murder and tampering with physical evidence.
- Prosecutors said Allen beat Christopher Hahn, 43, then used a baseball bat, suffocated him with a plastic bag, and stabbed him in the neck.
- Home surveillance captured audio of the initial 18-minute beating and video of Allen dragging a semi-conscious Hahn onto his rear deck.
- After the killing, Allen sought help from a handyman to clean the scene; the worker left, called police, and officers arrested Allen at his home.
- Allen is scheduled to be sentenced on Feb. 26 and faces life in prison without the possibility of parole.
