Horton jury returns first degree murder verdict after 43 hours
H. Troy Horton was found guilty of first degree murder in the October 29 shooting death of his wife Mary Horton. The jury deliberated 43 hours across multiple ballots, reaching a compromise on the sixteenth ballot with a 383 year penitentiary sentence. Doctors testified to sanity but jurors gave little credence to insanity. Defense counsel planned no immediate statement on a new trial. Trial opened last Monday with evidence showing Horton fired five times at the Giles home.
