Murder convictions of two of the defendants in the Gwen Araujo murder case were upheld by a state appeals court last week, which ruled that jury instructions given by Alameda County Superior Court Judge Harry Sheppard were proper.

The case before the First District Court of Appeal involved two of the four men involved in the brutal death of Araujo, who was beaten and strangled to death at a Newark house party in 2002 at the age of 17.
