Man guilty of murdering buddy, stuffing him in trunk and covering scene with chili

Syracuse, NY -- A Lakeland man has just been found guilty of beating and stabbing his buddy to death, stuffing him in a car trunk and covering up the scene with homemade chili.
Jacob Stanton, 26, always claimed that he had been with victim Jacob Giarrusso the day of the murder, but had been dropped off at home and didnt know who killed his friend.
The jury found that Stanton flew into a rage at Giarrussos grandmothers house Nov, 18, 2017, in Salina, cracked his friends skull with a blunt object and then stabbed him numerous times, the kitchen knife blade breaking off in Giarrussos back.
Stanton then loaded his friends body into a car, along with other bloody items from the scene, and haphazardly threw grandmothers chili -- which she left simmering in the kitchen -- across the bloody living room floor. He then drove the car to an apartment complex off Morgan Road and left it there.
Its unclear why Stanton and Giarrusso, longtime friends who apparently did drugs together, ended up at odds.

Drug users are not rational. There probably isn't a clear reason.

A nice way to say that one bashed the other in the head and then stabbed him several times.
