Man convicted in wife's electrocution
YORK, Pa. (AP) - March 13, 2009

But a York County jury acquitted 38-year-old /*Toby Taylor*/ on Thursday evening of the most serious charge of first-degree murder. District Attorney Stan Rebert says he will seek the maximum sentence of 20 to 40 years in prison for the Lower Windsor Township man.

In addition to third-degree murder, Taylor was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and reckless endangerment in the Jan. 23, 2008 electrocution of 29-year-old /*Kirsten Taylor*/.

Taylor had maintained he used an electric shock to stimulate his wife during sex.
