STOCKTON (CBS13) – A Stockton man who lived with his girlfriend’s badly decomposed body in a bathtub for several months was convicted of her murder on Wednesday.
Devon Omar Epps, 37, was arrested in December 2011 after the apartment manager went to evict him and discovered the body of Veronica Jones in the bathtub of the unit on E. Channel Street.
The jury found Epps guilty of all charges: premeditated murder, use of weapon other than a firearm, rape, murder by torture and corporal injury to a spouse or cohabitant.
Epps will be back in the San Joaquin County courtroom Thursday for the sanity phase of his trial. A judge ordered a mental evaluation for Epps after he acted strangely in court during his arraignment.

{Guilty of murder by] use of weapon other than a firearmWow. She was lucky he didn't use a firearm.
And so was he. Imagine the enhanced sentence if he had raped, tortured, and murdered her . . . AND used a firearm.

From what I have seen, only things that are good and decent.

Good point! Good example: Religious displays of any sort — except mohammedan — are considered indecent by many.

I remember teaching a short story class in college when I was a grad assistant. We were doing “A Rose For Emily” by Faulkner. You should have seen the class wake up when they realized that Emily had been sleeping with a corpse for years!
I’ll bet those students never forgot that short story.
