      Marco Bisbikis , 39, and Roy Larry, 46, were found guilty of first-degree premeditated murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree premeditated murder, assault with intent to murder, and two counts of felony firearm in the death of Dan “Hutch” Hutchinson, 47, prosecutors announced in a news release . They face life in prison when they’re set to be sentenced on June 12.

      “The evidence revealed an elaborate and shocking sequence of events that ultimately led to the murder of Dan Hutchison and the attempted murder of Marisa Hutchinson,” Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald said. “I am proud of the diligent work from the trial team and the law enforcement professionals who investigated this case, which allowed us to present the jury with overwhelming evidence. I commend them for their unwavering commitment to justice for the victims and the community. This was a horrible and tragic crime and I hope that today’s verdict brings some peace to the family and loved ones of Dan Hutchinson.”

      Bisbikis’ attorney, James Thomas, declined to comment. Larry’s attorney did not respond, The Detroit News reported.

      From the stand in court, Larry denied the murder.

      “I didn’t kill nobody. I didn’t wait 46 years to kill,” he said, the Oakland Press reported.

      Bisbikis was Hutchinson’s lawyer and wrote himself into Hutchinson’s will. He hired Larry to kill his client and his wife for millions of dollars in their trust, prosecutors said .

      The murder happened on June 1, 2022, when Larry rode up on an electric bicycle next to Hutchinson’s SUV on Greenfield Road near 8 Mile as the victim was leaving his jewelry store. He fired 14 rounds into the SUV before riding off and was quickly arrested.

      Hutchinson was killed and his wife miraculously survived.

      She testified in the trial about their will being created weeks before her husband was murdered, Detroit’s Fox affiliate WJBK reported.

      “We trusted that he (Bisbikis) knew our wishes,” she said in court, the outlet reported.
