DNA evidence from semen found on a sleeping bag beneath her body matched Kizziar, prosecutors arguing it proved sexual assault during the attack. Though Kizziar, who represented himself, claimed the DNA could have been transferred accidentally and questioned his ability to commit the violent acts due to brittle bone disease, the jury found him guilty after deliberating. The prosecution didn’t need to prove motive, but showed evidence of multiple strikes and strangulation during a kidnapping and assault. Kizziar now faces life in prison, with sentencing set for August 13th — bringing long-awaited justice to Aimee See.
