A jury in Chula Vista, California convicts Larry Millete of murdering his missing wife, Maya Millete, following a two-month trial. Prosecutors argued that Larry Millete killed his wife after she had an affair with a coworker, and they presented evidence that they said supported the charge. Multiple reports characterize the case as involving a long-running disappearance and significant trial testimony about the couple’s relationship, including allegations of domestic abuse and infidelity. One outlet notes that much of the prosecution’s evidence is largely circumstantial, reflecting the difficulty prosecutors faced in proving the case. Throughout the trial, the focus also includes the nature of the evidence presented and the manner in which jurors ultimately evaluated conflicting or indirect proof. The conviction follows the jury’s verdict after deliberations in a closely watched case described as having drawn substantial attention during the trial. Sentencing details are not included in the provided accounts. The case remains defined by the jury’s findings that the prosecution met the burden to convict on the murder charge.
