Madison County District Attorney Jay Town believes the jury's final verdict in Perry's case is an appropriate one.

"We are extremely pleased with the verdict. This jury was as copious as they were unfooled," says Town. "We had over 200 State Exhibits, hours of recorded interviews and jail calls and two expert witnesses. Testimony last all last week and we closed [Monday]. Jury deliberated for about an hour. She was sentenced to life without parole immediately and escorted back to jail."
