Fox 16 says a jury in Hamburg has convicted Kenneth Osburn, a McGehee truck driver, of killing 17-year-old Casey Crowder, whose car ran out of gas near Dumas in 2006. The jury is deliberating penalty at the moment. A question from the jury suggests it may be divided on whether to give the death penalty. The alternative is life without parole.

UPDATE: Channel 7 says the verdict is life in prison.
