Lopes was charged with murder in the deaths of Chesna and Adams. He faces a life sentence if convicted; if he is found not guilty by reason of insanity, he could be sent to a mental health facility. During the course of the first trial, jurors were taken to the neighborhood in Weymouth where the fatal shootings occurred and instructed to examine the locations referenced throughout the trial. These include the Queen Anne’s Gate Apartments in Weymouth where Lopes is accused of taking his then girlfriend’s white BMW, the intersection of Main Street and Columbian Street where he allegedly crashed into another vehicle, and Burton Terrace, where the shootings happened.
