**ACTION NEWS AT 6** 
 
 *Thank you for joining us on today's broadcast. * 
 
 *The jury has finally come to a decision in the famous case of Roth vs. Verne. * 
 *Roth, the 6-time senior incumbent Senator from Florida, was found guilty of murdering the victim, Mrs. Jessica Verne from Baltimore. The case, which had been ongoing for months due to lack of compelling evidence, received a jolt in the arm last week when cutting edge science allowed medical specialists to temporarily revive Mrs. Verne for a record 24 hours and allow investigators to record her testimony -- rocketing the trial to the front page of every newsstand in the world. * 
 
 *Crediting the powerful testimony as the largest factor in their decision, jurors unanimously declared Roth guilty of murder in the 1st degree, which he committed using an emergency fire axe found in Mrs. Verne's apartment stairwell. * 
 
 *Judge Anthony Talbot levied a sentence of 99 lifetimes with no chance of parole. He was quoted as saying `` I would sentence you to death, but that does n't seem to be so permanent anymore. `` * 
 
 *The case, the most high profile in years, is expected to have momentous impact on future murder trials in the world. * 
 
 
 *In other news, the National Defense Acquisitions Committee, which Senator Roth used to chair, has announced a new joint project with DARPA and Northrup Grumman to equip our soldiers with a new hyperburst plasmatic rifle. * 
 
 *The weapon, known affectionately by researchers as the `` de-atomizer'', is promised to become the most effective handheld weapon yet for our servicemen, and intended to help keep our soldiers safer than ever before on the front lines. * 
 
 *The joint team is scheduled to finish the first prototype within 1 year, but with several years of testing planned before considering any type of mass production. *
