(CNN) -- A jury has decided an Arkansas man should receive life in prison without parole for killing a television anchor, officials said Thursday.

The Pulaski County, Arkansas, jury on Wednesday convicted Curtis Lavelle Vance, 29, of capital murder, residential burglary, rape and theft of property in the October 2008 death of Anne Pressly, 26, prosecutors said.

Pressly, the morning news anchor for CNN affiliate KATV, was found badly beaten and unconscious in her home. She died five days later.
