"After starting deliberations midday Friday, jurors in the Brian Walshe murder trial have reached a verdict. Walshe is charged with first-degree murder for allegedly killing his wife, Ana, on New Year's Day 2023. Just before jury selection began, he pleaded guilty to two lesser charges: willfully misleading a police investigation and willfully conveying away a human body or the remains thereof."
"Over eight days, prosecutors argued their case for Walshe's guilt, pointing to internet searches, large purchases of cleaning supplies and tools, and discarded bloody items with DNA from the couple, as well as Ana's affair. The defense, on the other hand, called no witnesses. In his opening statement and closing argument, Walshe attorney Larry Tipton told jurors his client found Ana suddenly dead after a night of New Year's celebrations and then spiraled into a panic."
