Wegmann Guilty

For those of you that recall, a local case involving the shooting death of a 19 year old girl by her (ex) boyfriend has been going on.
Today, the jury came back with a guilty verdict.
A jury convicted Richard Wegmann of murder this morning in the death of his 19-year-old girlfriend, Linsi Light, wrapping up a six-day trial.

A jury deliberated for seven hours Friday and about an hour and a half today before returning a verdict at 10:15 a.m. The verdict means Wegmann will spend at least 18 years in prison with the possibility of the rest of his life behind bars.

Wegmann showed no emotion on his face as he heard the verdict. Judge Richard Warren asked Wegmann if he had anything to say, and he simply responded, "No."
