Kenneth Gore Jr., 32, was convicted of first degree murder in the killing of Bonnie Fowler more than five years ago. The jury originally convicted him on Wednesday, but a juror changed her mind after a courtroom outburst. After deliberations Thursday, they returned a unanimous verdict again for Gore.

Gore was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
