BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -- Jurors have found a south-central Kentucky man guilty of kidnapping and murder in the death of his girlfriend four years ago.
The Daily News of Bowling Green reports a Warren County jury deliberated for five hours on Thursday before convicting 50-year-old Lawrence Robert Stinnett on both counts in the beating death of 29-year-old Christina Renshaw.
The jury began hearing evidence in the sentencing phase of the trial on Friday morning. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.

Renshaw was found dead Feb. 3, 2006 by Bowling Green police officers, who went to her apartment to investigate a domestic violence call.
Stinnett acted as lead counsel in his own defense during the trial after having conflicts with his attorneys over strategy.
