A smiling and unrepentant Michael Richard Swanson raised both middle fingers to television cameras outside the courtroom Thursday just an hour before a jury found him guilty of murder.

The robbery netted him $31 in cash.

A shooting on Interstate 540 this week was a case of road rage.



Kyle Andrew Fiske, 23, of Raleigh and Danielle Marie Johnson, 20, of Cary, told investigators they were traveling west toward Durham in a black Acura.


Fiske said he noticed they were being tailed by "someone, a guy," in a silver Acura with tinted windows.


The couple told police that someone in the car fired a gunshot that shattered the driver's side of the window before exiting the vehicle through a passenger window, according to a copy of a 911 recording police made public.


Johnson was nicked by glass, according to the 911 recording.


The shooting terrified Johnson, who tried at first to talk to the 911 dispatcher before she gave ways to tears, sobs and unintelligible screams.
