Both Evans and Fleck argued on Friday that Park’s original statement to police was more consistent with the evidence found in the home. “In my mind, under the circumstance, stabbing Kevin Hackett was the only way to gain control and protect myself from potential harm or death.” He said his mother threatened to call the police because he started quarreling with Hackett, and Hackett pushed her into a cabinet, knocking her out. “He could not be more relaxed.” His shirt was drenched in blood. Hackett was hospitalized and About 45 minutes later, Hackett drove into a neighbor’s driveway, screaming for help, according to police. Park’s mother, So Kim, had told police that she was getting ready for her job as a dealer at the MGM Grand when someone hit her from behind. The jury took about 2½ hours to deliberate before finding Park guilty of first-degree kidnapping and first-degree murder with a deadly weapon against a victim 60 or older. “He expects you to believe with a straight face that Kevin Hackett held him at knifepoint and forced him to kidnap his own mother,” Chief Deputy District Attorney Michelle Fleck said during closing arguments.
