Man guilty of murdering anchorwoman
Updated on 12 November 2009
A man has been convicted of capital murder for beating a TV anchorwoman so brutally that her face was shattered and she never regained consciousness before dying five days later.
Curtis Lavelle Vance could face the death penalty for the assault on Anne Pressly at her home in Arkansas. The same jury that convicted him reconvened to hear testimony about whether he should be put to death or imprisoned without the possibility of parole.
After the verdict, Ms Pressly's mother Patti Cannady raised a hand and said: "Praise God. Praise God."
