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.

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.
