 A man arrested this year in the killing of another man at a motorcycle club in Round Lake Beach in 1982 was convicted of murder this afternoon.
Robert Bostic, 71, faces 20 to 60 years in prison when he is sentenced. He was found guilty of killing Carlton Richmond, 31.
Bostic's attorneys declined to put on a defense, and Bostic did not take the stand during the trial, which started on Monday.
Bostic was arrested in January and charged with the shooting death that took place nearly 30 years before. Since then, prosecutors have indicated that some of the witnesses had changed their stories
