Jurors find professor's former wife guilty in his slaying

"The jury in the first-degree murder trial of Texas lawyer Piper Rountree moments ago recommended that she be sentenced to life in prison, plus three years.

Rountree was convicted today of shooting to death her ex-husband, University of Richmond professor Fredric M. Jablin, on Oct. 30 in front of his Henrico County home.

Judge L.A. Harris of Henrico Circuit Court ordered a pre-sentencing report and scheduled sentencing for May 6."

That was one short trial and it didn't take the jury long to find her guilty either.
