A California chef who admitted cooking his wife's remains to destroy evidence was found guilty Thursday of second-degree murder in a trial that included an audio recording of the man explaining the four-day cooking process to deputies.

i can't believe it took 3 days of deliberations?

Taste tests?

No wonder Campbell's is closing plants. I've kinda lost my appetite for soup.

Actually the cooking part bothers me far less than this:

Viens told authorities he argued with his wife, then restrained her with duct tape. Viens told investigators that he found his wife dead the morning after the argument.

My guess is he duct taped her to a chair and at the very least duct taped her mouth. My guess is she suffocated some time in the night because she couldn't breathe. Leaving a spouse incapacitated and then going to bed to me is far worse than cooking the spouse's remains. Its the before death stuff that hurts.

Yes, gruesome all the way around.

Obviously the murder part is the worst part but I do have a question. What did he do with the cooked remains after he cooked them?

He seems to have been a chef in a restaurant.

they couldn't find the remains (IIRC) he cooked them down, so he could throw them out as food waste i believe??

and yes, he duct taped her mouth shut...then went back to sleep...

He may not have specifically planned out his wife's murder but I still think I would have a hard time giving him 2nd degree if I were on the jury.

And people worry about spit and other fluids in their food when they go out to eat.
