CANTON, Ohio - A jury has convicted a former police officer of murdering his pregnant lover.

Bobby Cutts Jr. testified through sobs that he accidentally killed Davis with an elbow to her throat as he was trying to leave her house last June. He said he then panicked and dumped her body in a park.

Prosecutors say Cutts strangled Davis over mounting child support and hid her body to cover up his involvement.
