FAYETTEVILLE -- A jury found Mark Edward Chumley guilty of accomplice to capital murder.
Chumley, 49, was charged in Washington County Circuit Court in the killing of Victoria Annabeth Davis, known as Tori.
Davis, 24, was tortured and beaten to death on Aug. 19, 2015 at her home on Hill Street, according to testimony.
Chumley has not been sentenced. He faces life in prison without parole or the death penalty.
Witnesses said Thursday that Chumley directed four others, including her husband, to kill Davis.
John Davis told the jury Chumley was the first to hit Tori Davis with a baseball bat. Davis pleaded guilty earlier this year to being an accomplice to first-degree murder and was sentenced to 37 years in prison in exchange for his testimony against Chumley.
Judge Joanna Taylor is hearing the case.
