After an afternoon of deliberations, the jury found David Labon Bush guilty of second-degree murder in the disappearance of his wife, Lynn Lynnette Bush, who disappeared more than 16 years ago.

The jury's verdict was reached just after 9 p.m. Tuesday, hours after attorneys presented their closing statements in the 10-day trial. The prosecution contended that the 10 days of testimony showed that the defendant was guilty of killing his wife, Lynn Bush, 16 years ago. The defense argued that the state's case left too much to the imagination. And 7th District Court Judge David Park told the jurors it was their job to decide.
