Stephen Green was found guilty of murdering Cornelius McClary, 35, during the deadly 2018 Lee Correctional prison uprising.
Following four days of testimony, Green was convicted of murder, second-degree mob assault, criminal conspiracy, and possessing a weapon as a prisoner.
Witnesses reported seeing Green on multiple surveillance recordings and claiming that he played an important role in the events that occurred.
The prosecution focused on his shoes, claiming that they were not a regular issue for convicts at the South Carolina Department of Corrections.
This detail was utilized to help identify Green, who appeared in various camera angles shot during the mayhem of the melee.
