Michael Sykes convicted of all but one rape charge

The jury determined that Sykes was guilty on 19 of the 20 kidnapping, assault and rape charges. Police say he abducted three young women ages 19, 20 and 21, at gunpoint from a gas station at Fenkell and Schaefer. He took them to an abandoned garage on Monica Street and allegedly raped them.

Sykes, 21, sat quietly this time - a far cry from how the day started when his attorney asked for a mistrial.

Diallo referenced intense media coverage of her client's attack on a sheriff's deputy last Thursday. It is alleged he choked her, tried to grab her gun but luckily didn't get it. Another deputy stopped the attack.

The judge told Diallo her client needs to control himself and this case is going forward.

So many victims had been waiting for justice allegedly raped and kidnapped by Sykes. Attacks date all the way back to march of 2008 when two sisters were robbed at gunpoint, kidnapped and raped.

"He was going to engage in a sexual act with these people whether they wanted to or not," said the prosecuting attorney.

"No cuts - no abrasions, no nothing on these young ladies," Diallo said.

"All of the evidence - not just the evidence that's favorable for conviction, all the evidence is supposed to be presented," she said.

"This evidence screams at you," said the prosecutor. "The testimony screams at you that the defendant is the person who committed these acts."

Sykes will be sentenced October 20. He could likely spend the rest of his life behind bars.
