Breaking! Jury Finds Road Rager Ellington Guilty

"This is just a redneck railroad," said Ann Thomas, Jonathan Wade Ellington's fiancé, after she heard the guilty verdict at the Kootenai County Courthouse this afternoon/Kathy Plonka, Spokesman-Review.

Jonathan Wade Ellington was found guilty of second-degree murder and two counts of aggravated battery Thursday in the New Year's Day death of an Athol, Idaho, woman. A Kootenai County jury came back with the verdict just after 3 p.m. The jury began deliberations Wednesday afternoon. Authorities say 41-year-old Vonette Larsen was run over and killed by Ellington in an apparent fit of road rage on Jan. 1. The hairdresser’s death was the culmination of a confrontation that began earlier that morning between Ellington and two of Larsen’s daughters.
