Prosecutors convinced a jury that Davis used a cane that doubled as a sword-like weapon to kill Jackson. Davis had asked Jackson to buy him a couple of cans of malt liquor when it led to the stabbing.
Davis removed a sword hidden in the cane and fatally stabbed Jackson one time in the heart.
The confrontation happened in front of the Country Market on East North and South Elm Avenues as customers were coming in and out.
