After about a day’s worth of deliberations, the jury has reached a verdict for defendant Timothy Serebour’s armed carjacking trial. 

Jurors found him not guilty of four out of five charges filed against him. 

Serebour was acquitted of armed carjacking, second-degree robbery, possession of a schedule II controlled substance, and possession of a firearm without a firearm ID. 

He was found guilty of carjacking and the lesser offenses of burglary to a motor vehicle and third-degree robbery. 

His lawyer attorney Peter Santos said the verdict shows the case was overcharged.

“It shows the people did not have enough to sustain guilty verdicts on the majority of the charges. He had a co-actor. His co-actor was the one who was more responsible [for the crime]. but they were both ultimately responsible and at the end of the day, this is what justice looks like,” said Santos. 

“Just to go back, there was a camry that Babauta and Serebour were in. It was Babauta who initiated the encounter with the family in the white truck. And it was Babauta who took the truck. So when the cops got involved, he threw Serebour under the bus,” he added. 

Serebour and co-actor John Peter Babauta Jr. were accused in the March 14 armed carjacking at Oka Payless in Tamuning.  

Serebour is expected to be sentenced on Sept. 10. 

As he also had a special allegation of felony while on felony release, he could face five to 25 years in prison. 

Meantime Babauta, who took a plea deal, is facing six to 60 months in prison.

He is expected to be sentenced in June.
