QCrimes: Already?!! Marcus Allen Convicted Of Murder, Sentenced To Life In Just Five Days!

Already?!! Marcus Allen Convicted Of 1st Degree Murder
Seems like only last week we reported the beginning of porn model Marcus Allen’s murder trial. And now, barely one week later, our former Freshmen of the Year’s blossomed into a full-fledged felon, convicted of first-degree murder and serving life in prison!
If you’ll remember, Allen (aka Timothy J. Boham) shot his ex-boss and butt-slave, Paul Kelso, in the head during a cuddling/robbery gone bad. Boham’smotive? Getting cash for his preggers girlfriend. His defense? XBIZ has the goods:

“The jury took less than five hours to convict Boham, whose lawyers — Amber St. Clair and Kristan Wheeler—claimed that his victim… committed suicide,” reports the Denver Post. “They tried to persuade the jury that the murder scene was merely a cover-up for a suicide to that Kelso’s life insurance policy would pay out.”

“According to testimony, Boham returned to the house several times to clean the body of fingerprints and to remove clothing, bedding, a shell casing and other material,” the Post reports.

Boham stole Kelso’s safe and cut it open, believing it contained as much as $400,000. But it was empty save for some paperwork.

He later admitted to the shooting of his mother and sister and fled to Arizona, where he was arrested at the U.S.-Mexico border and returned to Colorado. “He confessed to police during a videotaped interview, which was played to jurors. His mother, sister and former girlfriend all testified against him during the five-day trial,” according to the Post.

Damn, that was quick. Is Lady Justice on Tina or something? We mean, the Harlow Cuadra trial took for-fucking-ever. But this one was wrapped up in less time than it takes to redecorate a bedroom.
