VIDEO: Chad Pradelli's report on the incident from July 2008.
Fifty-eight-year-old /*Santiago Robles*/ was convicted Tuesday in Berks County Court in the July 2008 death of 65-year-old /*Herbert Rupp*/ Jr. in Reading. Investigators say both men had handicap placards for their vehicles and often argued about the parking space.
Judge James Bucci rejected defense arguments that the shooting was accidental or self-defense. He says there is no evidence of any threats by Rupp.
Defense attorney Jack McMahon said he was not upset by the verdict because Robles could have been convicted of first-degree murder, which carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison.
Robles remains in the county jail and is scheduled to be sentenced next month.
