A jury Thursday found 20-year-old Devontavious Bryant guilty of aggravated rape and robbery in the 2012 assault of a jogger near Finley Stadium.
After a day-and-a-half of testimony from state's witnesses including the victim, Bryant was the only person his attorney, Joshua Weiss, called to the stand. Weiss asked Bryant if he had done what the state charged.

But prosecutor Cameron Williams said the woman's testimony Wednesday left no room for interpretation.
"She left no doubt," he said. "She left no doubt that this man raped her."
Judge Don Poole set a sentencing hearing for Jan. 5.
Deacon Williams, 18, the other man accused in the attack, pleaded no contest last week to a charge of rape and guilty to a plea of robbery.
