Former MLB pitcher found guilty of murder


AUBURN, Calif. (NBC, KYMA/KECY) – Former Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher Dan Serafini has been found guilty of murder.

He was found guilty of murdering his father-in-law and attempting to murder his mother-in-law during a 2021 ambush and shooting at a Tahoe-area home.

The attack resulted in the death of 70-year-old Robert Spohr and left his wife, 68-year-old Wendy Wood, seriously injured. Wood survived and made a full recovery, but later died of suicide.

Serafini was also found guilty of first-degree burglary.

The verdict was delivered on Monday, following three days of deliberation.

Serafini will be sentenced next month.
