Just in from Massachusetts, James Keown found guilty today in the murder of his wife, Julie.

For those who do not know the story, mainly anyone outside of Jefferson City, James Keown is a former employee at NewsTalk 1240 KLIK.  He was arrested in the studios back in November 2005.  This followed an investigation over a year in length after the death of his wife in September 2004.

Delays of over two and a half years let many to speculate on his guilt, but many of those reading the news reports (me included) were unsure how the case was playing in the eyes of the jury.

Best news stories, most detailed, have been found at the Waltham Daily News Tribune webpage.

For those familiar with the case, here is the quick version as penned by my friend Matt LaCasse at the website of NewsTalk 1400 KFRU (sister station in Columbia, MO, to NewsTalk 1240 KLIK).

I apologize for no post earlier this morning.  When you use software that is hosted on a website, you are tied to certain restrictions.  They chose to update software at the time I normally post, so it was not available to me to post. 

I was not holding off for this verdict, far from it.  I intended to have an update once the verdict came out.

Thank you for reading, more in the morning ahead of the Independence Day holiday.  Have a great rest of your Wednesday.
