Guilty As Charged

A Ft. Smith jury in the capital murder trial of Thomas Springs returned a fairly quick guilty verdict this morning.

The jury came back at about 11:30 a.m. Tuesday with a guilty verdict on one count of capital murder and two counts of aggravated assault against Thomas Springs in the death of Christina Springs.

Springs was accused of hitting the car his wife was in head-on before jumping out of the car and stabbing her to death at a major Fort Smith intersection in front of dozens of witnesses last January.

Springs stabbed his wife more than 24 times despite efforts of several bystanders to stop him. Must've been true love.

The sentencing phase will begin this afternoon. The jury is death penalty qualified.

Check back for updates.

I hope that the sentencing involves a 2x2 box and a Cuisinart.

Evil pig.

It's Fort Smith so anything is possible. Jury is still deliberating, but I expect something today.
