The man who allegedly droped a T.V. on his girlfriend and stabbed her 54 times was found guilty Wednesday in the Saginaw, Michigan death.

The 21-year-old Lashon Hollman faces a "mandatory life in prison" sentence that will be issued on May 9.

Hollman is being accused of killing Cassanda Nelson, whose body was found on Feb. 2, 2012. The 27-year-old woman was allegedly stabbed 54 times and had a television dropped on her head.

It took less than 15 minutes for a jury to decide that Hollman was guilty, the Associated Press reported. There is no option of parole for Hollman.

Defense lawyer Matthew Frey told the Associated Press that there were "unexplainable details that don't make sense" in the case. He added that there were portions of Nelson's life that "were not very nice."

According to Nelson's family and friends, Nelson left her home five years ago to get away from a situation in which she was assaulted.

"Rest assured, however, that she was loved by her entire family and will be greatly missed," her father said in an email message to Mlive. "Even though she made some bad decisions in her life, she did not deserve to die in this manner."

A friend told Mlive that Nelson made bad decisions in her life but that didn't mean she didn't have her head on her shoulders.

The jury was shown "numerous photographs from the autopsy that showed the extent of Nelson's injuries, including pictures of chunks of skin having been sliced out of Nelson's left cheek and neck, bruising and swelling in her face, the stab wounds, and the bleeding around her brain," MLive reported.
