It took four days for a jury to find a Brazil man guilty of murder for his role in a 2020 homicide. 

Cody Allen Wade, 33, Brazil, was arrested in June 2020 after police arrived to a residence at 236 East National Avenue, Brazil. Upon arrival, officers found a victim, later identified as Carl Haviland, 53, Brazil, wounded inside the residence. Haviland died as a result of being stabbed. 

Wade was initially arrested on charges of murder, battery against a public safety official and resisting law enforcement. 

A Clay Superior Court jury found Wade guilty of felony murder, two felony counts of battery resulting in bodily injury to a public safety official, a misdemeanor charge of resisting law enforcement and a felony charge of battery against a public safety official, as well as a habitual offender enhancement. 

According to court records, Wade has a lengthy criminal record, including a level four felony conviction of arson, and felony convictions for burglary. 

Following the guilty conviction, Wade was remanded back into custody and is scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 6.
