Frank Turner, the         ACCUSE in a trial that has attracted national attention, was today convicted of murder. The police               INVESTIGATE lasted for a year and during the trial over 100 hours of          EVIDENT were heard. Turner's         LAW had all argued that he was not in the area at the time, but could not provide the necessary       PROVE . Police described Turner as a well-known       THEFT who was responsible for many           ROB in the local region. This is not Turner's first            CONVICT . Seven years ago, he was found guilty of         FORGE and served three years in prison. The judge is expected to sentence Turner to a period of              PRISON later this week.
