[closeupready]

>>A crazed drifter was convicted Thursday of strangling a Pace University sophomore with an electric cord.

Jeromie Cancel grinned as a Manhattan jury announced they found him guilty of murder in the second degree in the August 2008 death of 19-year-old Kevin Pravia.

Cancel will be sentenced on Dec. 10, and faces 25 years to life.

The brutal slay occurred inside Pravia's West 15th St. apartment while Cancel, 24, and Pravia were watching the gore flick "Saw."<<
