Jury finds man guilty in Clark County attempted murder case By Jessica Prokop, Columbian Assistant Metro Editor Published: April 30, 2021, 6:40pm Share: Zakary French, 24, makes a first appearance in Clark County Superior Court on April 12, 2018. (Amanda Cowan/The Columbian files) A man accused of stabbing his grandfather in the neck in an unprovoked attack at his home in the Minnehaha area was convicted Friday of attempted first-degree murder. The Clark County Superior Court jury returned the guilty verdict against 27-year-old Zakary A. French after deliberating for about an hour. In addition to the charge, jurors also found the crime was committed against a family member with a deadly weapon, as well as an aggravating factor — egregious lack of remorse — that allows for an exceptional sentence. Jurors also had the option to consider a lesser-included charge of attempted second-degree murder.
