DALTON, Ga. — A former 911 operator was convicted Saturday of murdering her boyfriend by poisoning him with antifreeze. Lynn Turner could face a death sentence in the 2001 killing of Randy Thompson, a Forsyth County firefighter and the father of her two children. The same jury that convicted Turner will return to court at 9 a.m. Monday to decide whether to impose that sentence.
She is already serving a life sentence for the 1995 death of her husband, Glenn Turner, a Cobb County police officer. The murder charge in Thompson's death was filed after that 2004 conviction.
The trial went to the jury Saturday morning following closing arguments on Friday.
After the verdict was announced, members of both Thompson's and Turner's family began to weep. Turner did not look back as she was led out of the courtroom.
Turner, who had maintained her innocence in both cases, did not testify in either trial.
In closing arguments Friday, District Attorney Penny Penn said the motive in both cases was Turner's greed for the victims' life insurance money.
