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.

  1. I hope Jensen is proud that he got to get out and run around a little, and burn through thousands of tax dollars. Now they can throw him back in his cage to rot. Justice was done, and reaffirmed.

  2. well found guilty. he has already served about 24 years already. time served sentence. wouldn’t that be something

      1. He could but he has already served 24 years. Maybe he gets 5 more years. He looks healthy. Gets out and collects social security and enjoys life.
