Utah doctor convicted of drugging, drowning wife in bathtub

By Noreen O'Donnell (Reuters) - A Utah doctor was found guilty early Saturday of murdering his wife by drugging her with pain killers and sleeping pills and drowning her in a bathtub, local media reported. The verdict against Martin MacNeill, 57, came more than six years after Michele MacNeill was found unconscious in the bathtub in the couple's home south of Salt Lake City. The verdict came about 1 a.m., after the jury had deliberated for 11 hours, according to the Deseret News. MacNeill's death was originally ruled natural, due to "chronic hypertension and myocarditis," according to court documents.
