EUGENE -- An ex-Navy medic who claimed he was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder has been convicted of aggravated murder in the shotgun slaying of his estranged wife three years ago.
A Lane County jury deliberated 45 minutes on Friday before convicting 30-year-old Tyke Thomas Supanchick for the death of 25-year-old Kelly Supanchick in December 2005.
The jury rejected Supanchick's claim that intensive military training and post-traumatic stress suffered while serving at the Pentagon after the Sept. 11 terrorist attack led to the killing.
His wife was shot four times with a shotgun as she sat on a bed in her home with her hands bound in front of her.
The same jury will begin hearing evidence Tuesday to decide whether to impose a death sentence.
