Mark Jensen found guilty in 1998 death of wife
ELKHORN, Wis. (AP) _ A Kenosha man has been found guilty of using antifreeze to poison his wife, who left a note pointing the finger at him if she died.
A jury has found Mark Jensen guilty of first-degree murder in the 1998 death of 40-year-old Julie Jensen. He faces a maximum penalty of life in prison without parole.
Prosecutor Robert Jambois has said Jensen plotted to kill his wife. He says Jensen searched the Internet for information on antifreeze, gave his wife sleeping pills and made her drink juice spiked with the toxic chemical.
Jambois claims when her health appeared to improve, Mark Jensen pushed her face in a pillow and suffocated her.
Defense attorney Craig Albee claimed unsuccessfully that Julie Jensen committed suicide and framed her husband.

Too bad Jambois wasn't the prosecutor in the O.J. Simpson case. We wouldn't be forced to see O.J. in the news every couple of months and he'd be where he belongs...in prison.

This guy thought he got away with killing another human being. Why do some people think I won't divorce my wife, I will kill her. Why would anyone ever think they could get away with such a thing.
Besides the affair , he sounds like a monster the mental torture he put her through. He wanted people to think she was crazy. So a suicide would not seem so far fetched.
He is creepy.
