Editor's note: Contents of this story may be disturbing to some readers.

A man who stabbed a man 84 times, decapitated the victim and played soccer with his head was convicted of first-degree murder Thursday, prosecutors in New Mexico announced this week.

Joel Arciniega-Saenz, 28, was found guilty of first-degree murder in the brutal killing of 51-year-old James Garcia on June 20, 2021, according to a release from the Third Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

Dona Ana County District Court records show a jury convicted Arciniega-Saenz of the felony charge on Wednesday following a three-day trial before Judge Richard M. Jacquez. A sentencing date was not listed online Friday.

But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Gee, I wonder why USA Today didn't indicate if the two were illegals or legal migrants. *****rollingeyes*****
