EDINBURG, Texas -- A jury has found a south Texas man guilty of capital murder for beheading his common-law wife's three children in 2003.
The Hidalgo County jury deliberated for about three hours Monday before returning its verdict.
It was the second trial for 29-year-old John Allen Rubio of Brownsville.
A state appeals court overturned his previous conviction and death sentence in 2007, saying the children's mother had wrongly been allowed to testify.
Bodies of the three children, all younger than 4, were found on March 11, 2003, in a squalid Brownsville apartment.
Rubio initially said he killed them because they were possessed.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
