GUNTERSVILLE, AL (WAFF) -
A Marshall County jury recommended death for Jessie Phillips, the man convicted of capital murder for shooting and killing his pregnant wife.
When the punishment phase resumed Tuesday, the jury heard testimony from Phillips' mother.
Monday, jurors found Phillips guilty of killing his pregnant wife, Erica Droze Phillips, at Lakeside Carwash off Highway 69 in Guntersville in 2009. Droze was eight weeks pregnant at the time of her death.
The jury was charged and began deliberations just before 3 p.m. One hour later, they returned to the courtroom and recommended the death penalty.
Jessie Phillips was convicted of capital murder.
