Stephen “Votesaxon07” McCullagh, a YouTuber who primarily engages with science fiction entertainment (like Battlebots toys and Star Wars sets), was convicted of murdering his 32-year-old girlfriend who was 15 weeks pregnant with a baby boy in December 2022.

According to the BBC, McCullagh–who was on trial for more than four weeks–appeared in a Belfast court in Northern Ireland on March 23. After just over two hours of deliberations, the jurors returned to deliver a guilty verdict, with McCullagh facing a potential life sentence, according to the presiding judge.
