A jury has convicted a western Michigan woman of first-degree murder in the shooting death of her husband in a crime apparently witnessed by the man's pet parrot.
The Newaygo County jury deliberated about eight hours before finding 49-year-old Glenna Duram guilty Wednesday of killing 46-year-old Martin Duram. He was shot five times in May 2015. Glenna Duram suffered a head wound in what prosecutors said was a suicide attempt, but survived.
Martin Duram's ex-wife, Christina Keller, has said that after the slaying, the pet parrot, Bud, repeated ``don't (expletive) shoot'' in Martin Duram's voice. Keller took ownership of the bird after Martin Duram's death.
Duram is due to be sentenced Aug. 28 on the murder and a felony firearm charge.
