Found Deceased AL - Emmett Kyzer, 82, Cottondale, 27 June 2016 *Arrest*

Jurors are deliberating in the murder trial of a man accused of beating his wheelchair-using landlord with a bat, stabbing him with an ice pick and burning his body.

The Tuscaloosa News reports jurors will convene Friday to determine if Clifford Madison murdered 82-year-old Emmett Kyzer in 2016. He disappeared after asking the sheriff’s office how to evict someone.

The prosecution’s star witness is Madison’s ex-girlfriend Marla Johnsey. She said she provided the ice pick he used to stab Kyzer in the heart, and they burned the body together.

Deputies found the bloody wheelchair in Kyzer’s yard.

Johnsey said she kept quiet for nearly two years because Madison abused her.

The judge said jurors must acquit Madison if they believe Johnsey was more of an accomplice than a fearful eyewitness.

A jury deliberated for around four hours Friday before returning a guilty verdict in the case of an 82-year-old man who was beaten and stabbed in his front yard.

Clifford Madison, 54, could serve the rest of his life in prison for killing Emmett Kyzer.

The jury had to consider whether Marla Johnsey was an accomplice in the case or an unwilling eyewitness. They would have been required by law to return a not guilty verdict against Madison if they felt she acted as an accomplice. There was no physical evidence linking Madison to the crime — just Johnsey's testimony recounting Kyzer's death and the cover-up.
