HAMLIN, W.Va. (AP) - A West Virginia man has been convicted of torturing his wife.
News outlets report a Lincoln County Circuit Court jury found Kevin Woodrum of Gordon guilty Friday of kidnapping, malicious assault, domestic battery and assault during commission of a felony.
The jury found Woodrum not guilty of second-degree sexual assault and strangulation.
Prosecutors say Woodrum tied his wife to a bed, beat her, burned her with a lighter and poured water over her face in December 2016.
The trial had been moved moved to Lincoln County after a Boone County judge declared a mistrial earlier this year and granted a change of venue.
