Kenneth Osburn, 47, was found guilty Friday of both capital murder and kidnapping charges in the Aug. 27, 2006, death of Casey Crowder, a senior at Watson Chapel High School.

Crowder's body was found in woods a few miles from where her sport-utility vehicle ran out of gas on U.S. Highway 65 near Dumas. After reaching its verdicts, the jury began the sentencing phase of the trial Friday afternoon. Melinda Crowder, Casey's mother, spoke directly to Osburn at one point during her testimony. If jurors decide against the death penalty, the only other sentence for capital murder under Arkansas law is life in prison without parole.

Iowa swans to be released in Ozarks BOXLEY (AP) Federal and state officials plan to release migrating trumpeter swans in the Ozarks next week as part of a three-year program to rebuild the bird's population in Arkansas.

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources will capture and transport 10-20, free-flying young swans from Iowa for release in Arkansas, according to a National Park Service news release Friday. One group of birds will be released Wednesday at the Buffalo National River's Boxley Valley mill pond; another group will be released Thursday at Holla Bend National Wildlife Refuge near Dardanelle. The process to bring Arkansas into the swans' migratory pattern is known as reverse migration imprinting. Other agencies participating in the program include the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, the Trumpeter Swan Society, and the Gorgas Science Foundation in Brownsville, Texas, which holds the lease on Boxley Mill property.

"He can never do this again," she told Little Rock television station KLRT. "He'll never be able to hurt anyone ever again." Earlier in the week, jurors watched a videotape of investigators questioning Osburn after his arrest. On the tape, Osburn was seen and heard admitting to placing wire ties around Crowder's neck and watching her die.

Lawyers for Osburn told the jury police intimidated Osburn into admitting he kidnapped and strangled Crowder. The final witness for the defense, an expert in police interrogations and false confessions, said in his testimony Thursday that methods used to question Osburn about the slaying could have led to a false confession. The trial was moved to Ashley County because of concerns about seating an unbiased jury in Desha County, where the crime occurred. Tired Of Shaving? Stop the endless plucking, shaving waxing.
