BREAKING NEWS: Scott found guilty

By Staff
Christie Michelle Scott showed no emotion Wednesday morning as Circuit Judge Terry Dempsey read the jury's verdict in her capital murder trial.
Scott was found guilty on three alternating counts of capital murder.
The 30 year-old Russellville woman was accused of setting fire to her family's Signore Drive home in August.
Defense attorney Robert Tuten maintained the fire that killed six year-old Mason Scott was an accident.
The same jury that sat though four weeks of testimony will begin hearing the sentencing phase of the trial Thursday.
The jury will recommend whether Scott receives the death penalty or life in prison without parole.
She is the first female in Franklin County history to be convicted of capital murder.
