Dorr found guilty in wife's slaying
ANCHORAGE - A jury has found Anchorage resident Bob Dorr guilty of first-degree murder in the 2002 shooting death of his estranged wife, Gail Dorr.
Jurors rejected the defense's claim that the death was a crime of passion, which would have reduced the charge to manslaughter.
The jury also found Dorr guilty of second-degree murder, kidnapping and misconduct involving a weapon.
The murder and kidnapping convictions each carry a maximum 99-year sentence.
The jury's verdict was delayed over deliberations of the rape charge against Dorr. But in the end, the state didn't have enough evidence needed to return a conviction on the charge, said jurors Janaan Kitchen and Dan Dickey.
Bob Dorr, 53, shot Gail Dorr, 46, three times in the back and head about 5 a.m. on Oct. 28, 2002, as she tried to escape from him at a gas station in the Spenard neighborhood of Anchorage.
He then shot himself twice in the head, destroying the hearing in his left ear but otherwise not seriously damaging himself.
