Sherman “Detroit Shawn” Springer learned his fate Thursday morning after his two day trial on drug delivery resulting in death and drug possession charges. The jury of 9 men and three women delivered a unanimous verdict of guilty. Springer was convicted of delivering cocaine laced with fentanyl to Lonnie Barnes of Washington. Barnes and Chelsea Cox ingested the cocaine delivered by Springer and both quickly overdosed. Barnes died of his overdose, Cox survived her overdose and became the key witness that pointed to Springer as the person that delivered the fatal drugs. Springer will be subject to a pre-sentencing investigation. His sentencing is scheduled for March 6.
