URBANA — A man convicted of shooting a woman in the head last spring faces up to 30 years in prison when he is sentenced in February.

A Champaign County jury deliberated 15 minutes Wednesday before finding Clemon Adkinson, 31, whose last known address was in the 1700 block of East Florida Avenue, Urbana, guilty of aggravated battery with a firearm to a woman who sustained a gunshot wound to her head.

Testimony revealed Amanda Cavanaugh, 25, was shot March 4 after two men forced their way into her home in the 1500 block of West Clark Street in Champaign.

"He entered, pointed a loaded gun at her forehead and for at least 30 seconds was looking her dead in the eye. Then he pulled the trigger and shot her in the head, By some miracle, she survived," Assistant State's Attorney Adam Dill argued to the jury Wednesday.

"The only issue is, was that (shooter) the defendant. There is no scientific evidence. This isn't TV," Dill said, adding that Cavanaugh and Destiny Hays, a 16-year-old friend of her younger sister who was also present, both identified Adkinson as the shooter.

Adkinson's attorney, Assistant Public Defender Amanda Riess argued that Cavanaugh and Hays mistakenly identified Adkinson as the intruder, who was not wearing a mask. A second man, who has not been arrested, was masked.

Two friends of Adkinson testified he was with them that evening.

Testimony was that there were seven people in the home — the victim, her two children, her then-fiance, her younger sister, the sister's boyfriend and Hays. Only Cavanaugh was physically injured.

The bullet grazed her forehead, cutting it enough that she needed stitches. She still has a visible scar and said she suffers headaches from being shot. Cavanaugh was treated at Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana.

The intruders did not take anything before running from the home.

Cavanaugh did not know Adkinson, but Hays testified she recognized Adkinson and was able to give only his first name to police. From that, they put together a photo lineup.

Later that same night at the hospital, Cavanaugh looked at the photo array and "within seconds" picked Adkinson out as the shooter, Dill said. Hays also confirmed he was the shooter and a warrant was issued for his arrest. It wasn't until late June that he was found in Kentucky.

Judge Tom Difanis set sentencing for Feb. 7.

Court records show Adkinson has several prior convictions, including ones for domestic battery and aggravated battery.
