Boston.com is reporting that after 11 hours of deliberation, the jury in the Neil Entwistle case has returned with a guilty verdict. Entwistle, a British ex-patriate, who is charged with murdering his wife and 9-month old daughter, failed to call police and fled to England after supposedly finding the bodies of his wife and baby at the family's home in Hopkinton, MA. Authorities found the bodies under a pile of blankets in the couple's bedroom, shot to death with a gun owned by Rachel Entwistle's father.
In closing arguments on Monday, the defense argued that Rachel killed her daughter before committing suicide. The jury obviously didn't buy it.
Sentencing begins tomorrow morning. In Massachusetts, a first-degree murder charge carries a mandatory life sentence without parole. Entwistle is charged with two counts of first degree murder as well as some firearms charges.

May God take you in the palm of his hand and rise you up to meet him and then .. and only then will he have the answers for you... and peace will be amongst you!
