The jury deliberated for about 20 minutes before convicting Amy Bishop. The former professor at the University of Alabama in Hunstville showed no reaction as the verdict was read. She did not speak in court, but her attorney said she has often expressed great remorse to the victims and their families.

Why did it take them that long?

Cold cuts were brought in.

Probably a couple Obama supporters had second thoughts.

The jury was probably conflicted on the Yankee brother killing charge../sarcasm//

I don’t know.
I have never been summoned to jury duty.

Headline just a tad misleading, don't you think, "Ex-professor gets life for meeting rampage"?

I'd call that a "light punishment for cold-blooded murder of three people."

What about murdering three people constitutes "meeting rampage?" We've so watered down our language that pre-mediated murder equates with shouting, yelling, throwing papers all around the boardroom.

Sort of like murdering 13 people while shouting Allah Akbar equals "workplace violence!"
