ID: Mark Lankford, guilty again

By Skelly

The local sites don't seem to have posted this AP item yet; it's fairly significant, from the Houston Chronicle:Former Idaho Death Row Inmate Convicted in Retrial of Murdering Texas CoupleA jury has convicted former death row inmate Mark Lankford of killing a Texas couple in 1983 in north Idaho. Lankford was granted a new trial after the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled he must be retried or released because of a jury instruction error in his first trial. Jurors in Wallace, Idaho, deliberated not quite four hours before finding Lankford guilty... No intent to seek the death penalty this time. Updates as they come.
