HONOLULU -- The jury in the Pali Golf Course shooting case found both defendants guilty of murder on Friday.

Ethan Motta and Rodney Joseph Jr. were charged with killing two rivals in the gambling security business. Judge Susan Mollway's office said the verdict is for Joseph.

Lepo Taliese and Romelius Corpus Jr. were killed in the gunfire when rival groups performing security at the game rooms met at Pali Golf Course, prosecutors said. Tino Sao suffered a gunshot wound to his face. Nixon Maumalanga escaped the shooting unharmed.

Motta told the jury in federal court that he was not directly involved in gambling security and did not take money from gambling houses.

Both men face life in prison without the possibility of parole.
