Last week at Lincoln the jury returned with its painful answer: it found Caril Ann Fugate guilty of first-degree murder, ordered her sentenced to life in prison...
...hours the five women and seven men on the Nebraska jury struggled with their anguishing problem: what to do with soft-cheeked Caril Ann Fugate, 15, who accompanied bowlegged Badman Charles Starkweather, 19, on a ten-murder spree last spring (TIME, Feb. 10).

Caril called wildly for her dead mother until a doctor gave her a sedative and she cried herself to sleep. Starkweather grinned at newsmen, airily admitted the killings and agreed to extradition, confessed also that two months before he had committed an eleventh murder.
