Following up on a story we told you about last week….
Mark Lankford learned Friday a jury has found him guilty of first-degree murder…for a third time.
Seven women and five men deliberated Friday for about three hours before returning guilty verdicts on two counts of murder. No sentencing date has been set.
The Idaho Press reports, Lankford has tried and failed three times to prove himself innocent of killing an El Paso, Texas, couple who were camping in the Idaho County backcountry in 1983.
In this latest trial, Mark Lankford’s younger brother, Bryan, took the stand and took responsibility as the sole killer. Despite Bryan Lankford’s courtroom confession, the jury still returned guilty verdicts on Mark Lankford.
