WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - A Wichita man has been convicted in the death of a man who prosecutors say was tortured before being injected with a lethal dose of methamphetamine.
A Sedgwick County jury on Tuesday found 38-year-old Jason Jones of first-degree murder in the death of 34-year-old Shawn Lindsey. Surveyors found Lindsey’s body in a field in January 2013.
Prosecutors will seek a Hard 50 sentence during the sentencing phase of the trial Wednesday.
