A jury of his peers found Mark Jensen guilty of the 1998 murder of his wife Julie. The prosecution told a story about a man who could never forget his wife’s early 1990’s affair and terrorized her for years. He poisoned her to death with anti-freeze. It took the Jury only about 8 hours to unanimously find the 63-year-old man guilty.

Jensen’s face didn’t seem to change when he heard the word “guilty” for the second time in 15 years. Jensen was then taken into custody and he left the courtroom with the same demeanor he had the last 16 days of court.
