Carla Hughes Trial Verdict?

The jury is still sequestered in the Carla Hughes double capital murder trial in Canton. Carla Hughes was accused of the 2006 murder of Avis Banks of Ridgeland.

Jurors asked the judge today if they could have Carla Hughes called to the stand; and of course, the Judge said no, and that they should refer to their jury instructions. Carla Hughes has stated that she would not testify in her own case.

What is the trial verdict? Is she guilty?

The trial verdict is already out.
A jury in Mississippi has found Carla Hughes guilty of capital murder, for killing a pregnant woman along with her fetus. Hughes murdered the woman, Avis Banks, apparently in an attempt to be with Avis' fiance, Keyon Pittman. Hughes and Pittman were in the midst of a sexual affair at the time of Banks' murder.
As the trial moves onto its sentencing phase, Hughes will face either the death penalty or life in prison without the possibility of parole.
