NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — A jury has found a Nashville woman guilty of premeditated murder in the strangulation death of her husband whose body was found in the closet of their upscale home.

WTVF-TV reported the jury returned the verdict against Kelley Cannon after an hour of deliberations on Thursday.

Prosecutors said Cannon strangled her husband, attorney Jim Cannon, in 2008 with the cord of a cell phone charger, then poured bleach on his body in an attempt to cover up evidence.

The couple were in the process of divorcing and Jim Cannon had custody of their two children when his body was found in his Green Hills home.

Officials testified about forensic evidence that linked her to the slaying, including a latex glove.
