Jury Considers Death Penalty in TV Anchorwoman Case

The jury that convicted a man of capital murder in the beating death of an Arkansas television anchorwoman is now considering whether to impose the death penalty. Jurors will be meeting on Thursday, one day after having convicted Curtis Lavelle Vance of murder, rape, and several other charges. Jurors could also recommend life in prison without parole.

Anne Pressly, a host for KATV, was attacked in her home in Little Rock on October 20th, 2008. She did not regain consciousness, and died five days later. Prosecutors said that Vance went to her neighborhood to steal laptop computers.
