A Pulaski County Circuit Court jury has
convicted a man of capital murder. Still to be decided is whether
the man should be executed or spend the rest of his life in prison.
The jury returned its verdict Wednesday, convicting 26-year-old
Hernando Traylor of killing 26-year-old Bobby McGhee in a robbery
at McGhee`s apartment last November.
The jury is scheduled to return to court today for the penalty
phase of the trial.
Traylor`s brother, Olando Traylor, is also charged with capital
murder in the slaying. Prosecutors say they will not seek the death
penalty for Olando Traylor.
Execution or life imprisonment without parole are the only two
penalties for capital murder under Arkansas law.
