HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WAFF) -
UPDATE: After four years of delays, a Madison County jury found Otis Nelson guilty of murder.
In November 2017, Nelson killed his girlfriend, 44-year-old Mary Ann Washington. Friday afternoon, Nelson was taken into custody.
The family of Mary Ann Washington was relieved when the verdict was read. They said, finally, they can get some closure. Washington was killed inside her Northwest Huntsville Home. Her then 13-year-old son found her body.
The Madison County coroner said in 2017, Washington died by strangulation. The trial was pushed back multiple times due to technicalities and the pandemic.
