Jean Pierre Orlewicz, Teen Charged in ‘Thrill Kill,’ Convicted of First-Degree Murder
Jean Pierre Orlewicz will spend the rest of his life behind bars after a Michigan jury found the 18-year-old guilty of first-degree murder in what prosecutors dubbed a ‘thrill killing.’
Orlewicz was convicted for brutally murdering Daniel Sorensen last November. According to Orlewicz’s defense team the teen was defending himself but after the prosecution detailed how Orlewizc stabbed and beheaded Sorensen and then torched the body the jury was left with little choice.
Orlewicz had said he stabbed Sorensen after the 280-pound bar bouncer pointed a gun at him and his friend. That friend testified against Orlewicz last week as part of the prosecutions well laid out argument that proved to the jury that the defendant had carefully planned the murder.
The conviction carries a mandatory life in prison sentence without the possibility of parole.
